Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Benson Boone in brief
Benson Boone is a pop-rock singer and songwriter from Monroe, Washington, born on June 25, 2002, who now headlines arenas (indoor venues built for basketball and hockey). He moved up quickly: his first headlining tour came in 2023, and by 2025 he was selling out arenas in North America and Europe.
He first built a following on TikTok, briefly competed on season 19 of American Idol in 2021 and withdrew after reaching the Top 24, then signed with Night Street Records, the label founded by Imagine Dragons singer Dan Reynolds, in partnership with Warner Records. His single "Beautiful Things," released on January 19, 2024, reached number one on the Billboard Global 200, topped charts in 19 countries and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades (2024), reached number six on the Billboard 200, and American Heart followed on June 20, 2025. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where he performed "Beautiful Things" in the Best New Artist medley.
What to expect at his concerts
His show is built around his voice and big singalong choruses, drawing on his two albums, with "Beautiful Things" as the song most of the room came to hear. Expect a loud, standing crowd from the first song, and plan to arrive in time for the opener.
He played Wembley Stadium as an opener for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in June 2024, but his own headlining dates are arena shows. That keeps the room relatively intimate: most arena seats are close enough to follow the performance without relying only on the screens.
His tours, from first headline run to arenas
These are his headlining tours, with dates from the cited tour records:
- Pulse Tour (2023): his first headlining run.
- Fireworks & Rollerblades World Tour (2024 to 2025): the tour supporting his debut album.
- American Heart World Tour (August 22, 2025, to March 15, 2026): his first all-arena tour, 50 shows across North America and Europe, opening in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and including Madison Square Garden and The O2 in London. Demand led to added dates in Salt Lake City, Manchester, Amsterdam and London. Elliot James Reay and Brooke Combe opened.
- Wanted Man Tour (July 7 to November 19, 2026): announced on March 29, 2026, 46 shows in the United States, Australia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. The US arena leg included PPG Paints Arena, Barclays Center, United Center, T-Mobile Arena and Crypto.com Arena, with Olivia O'Brien, Ashe and Luna Li opening on different stretches. The presale began on April 1, 2026, ahead of the general sale on April 3.
As of October 2026, the remaining Wanted Man dates were in the Asia-Pacific region. New dates will appear in the live event list on this page.
Where to sit at a Benson Boone arena show
Check the seating map on your event, since stage layouts vary by tour and venue. For a typical end-stage arena setup:
- General admission floor: if the floor is sold as standing room, arriving early decides how close you get. It is the most energetic part of the room, but views from the back are limited for shorter fans.
- Lower-bowl sections facing the stage: the best all-around seats. You see the full stage over the floor crowd and the sound is balanced.
- Lower-bowl side sections: very close, but the angle sharpens as you move toward the stage. Sections a little back from the stage line keep the whole stage in view.
- Upper level, center: the value choice. In a mid-size arena the front rows upstairs still feel connected to the show.
Skip seats listed as behind the stage or limited view unless the listing explains what you can see.
How the market for his tickets behaves
Benson Boone's demand has grown faster than his venue sizes, which is why the American Heart tour added shows in several cities. A few patterns are worth knowing:
- Presales set the tone. On the Wanted Man Tour, the presale ran two days before the general sale, and much of the best inventory moved in that window.
- Added dates relieve pressure. When a second night is added, the first night's resale prices can soften, and the new show often has better seats available early.
- Weekend and big-market shows run hotter. Friday and Saturday nights and stops in large cities tend to draw the most competition.
- Resale is a full option. For a sold-out arena date, the secondary market is often the only way in; prices may ease in the final days if sellers still hold inventory.
