The Pasadena show is one of 23 dates on “The Great Divide Tour,” which supports Kahan’s fourth studio album of the same name, arriving April 24 via Mercury Records. The tour, produced by Live Nation, begins June 11 in Orlando and concludes August 30 in Seattle. Rising singer-songwriter Gigi Perez will open all dates.
Kahan, 29, is a two-time Grammy nominee whose 2022 album “Stick Season” transformed him from indie artist to global phenomenon. According to Mercury Records, his catalog has generated nearly 15 billion streams and he has sold nearly 12 million albums worldwide, with 22 platinum and gold certifications. The title track from “Stick Season” is certified 8x platinum.
The artist presale begins February 10 at noon local time. Fans must sign up at noahkahan.com by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, February 5, to participate. No presale codes are required — access is tied to the Ticketmaster account used during registration. General on-sale begins Thursday, February 12 at noon.
Kahan is using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange program for this tour. Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster will be non-transferable and can only be resold on the platform at face value, a measure designed to prevent scalping.
“The last five years have been the single most challenging, complicatedly beautiful, and life-altering of my career,” Kahan said in a statement about the new album. “I was somewhere I understood, and suddenly I was somewhere completely foreign.”
The new album was produced by Gabe Simon, who collaborated with Kahan on “Stick Season,” and Grammy-winning producer Aaron Dessner, known for his work with Taylor Swift and Bon Iver. The title track debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. Top Songs chart and No. 3 globally when released January 30, according to the label.
A portion of each ticket will benefit The Busyhead Project, Kahan’s mental health nonprofit, which has raised more than $4 million since launching in 2023, according to Seven Days Vermont.
Gigi Perez, the opening act, is a New Jersey-born singer-songwriter whose single “Sailor Song” has accumulated more than 400 million streams globally, according to Ticketmaster. She signed with Island Records in 2024.
The show begins at 6:30 p.m. The Rose Bowl is located at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive in Pasadena. Event-day shuttles typically run from Old Pasadena near the Memorial Park Metro station.
