Noah Kahan has two separate runs in the UK and Ireland. First, The Great Divide Tour arena leg in November 2026: two nights at Glasgow's OVO Hydro (5 and 6 November), two at Manchester's AO Arena (9 and 10 November), three at The O2 in London (13, 14 and 17 November) and two at Dublin's 3Arena (21 and 22 November), with Bella Kay supporting. Then, in July 2027, The Last Of The Bugs World Tour brings his first stadium shows here: Hampden Park in Glasgow on 13 July, two nights at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on 17 and 18 July, and three nights at Wembley Stadium on 23, 24 and 25 July 2027.
The Vermont singer-songwriter's rise in Britain has been extraordinary. On 5 January 2024 'Stick Season' became the first UK number one of the year, and his albums Stick Season and The Great Divide (2026) both reached number one on the UK albums chart. In less than four years he has gone from the O2 Forum Kentish Town to Wembley Stadium.
Below: every confirmed date, a guide to the venues, Noah Kahan's full documented UK concert history, his records, the songs he plays most often and ticket information.
The stadium dates were announced on 24 August 2026, with an artist presale on Tuesday 25 August and a general sale on Friday 28 August 2026, both at 10am. Wembley Stadium on 23 July 2027 was announced as the largest show of his career, and two further Wembley nights and a second Aviva Stadium date were added as demand became clear.
The November 2026 arena dates come first and are part of The Great Divide Tour, which began in Orlando, Florida, on 11 June 2026 to support his fourth album. Glasgow, Manchester and Dublin each get two nights and London three; Bella Kay opens every show.
Dublin's 3Arena and Aviva Stadium are in the Republic of Ireland; all other venues are in the UK.
The OVO Hydro opened in 2013 on the Scottish Event Campus beside the Clyde and holds about 14,300. Exhibition Centre station (low-level line from Glasgow Central) is next to the venue.
The AO Arena opened in 1995 above Manchester Victoria station and holds about 21,000, making it one of the largest indoor arenas in Europe.
Opened in 2007 on the Greenwich Peninsula inside the former Millennium Dome, The O2 holds around 20,000 for concerts and is regularly ranked among the world's busiest arenas. The nearest Tube is North Greenwich on the Jubilee line; the IFS Cloud Cable Car and Thames Clippers riverboats are useful alternatives after the show.
3Arena on Dublin's North Wall Quay reopened as a modern arena in 2008 and holds around 13,000. The Luas Red Line stops at The Point, right outside.
Hampden Park on Glasgow's south side is Scotland's national stadium, with a capacity of around 51,800 for football and more for concerts using the pitch. Mount Florida and King's Park stations are the closest.
The Aviva Stadium opened in 2010 on the site of Lansdowne Road and holds about 51,700. Lansdowne Road DART station is directly beside the stadium.
The rebuilt Wembley Stadium opened in 2007 and holds up to 90,000, the largest capacity in the UK. Wembley Park (Jubilee and Metropolitan lines) and Wembley Stadium station (Chiltern Railways) are both within walking distance.

Noah Kahan's first British shows were as a support act and in small rooms in the late 2010s. The turning point came in 2023: in April he opened for another act on an arena tour taking in Cardiff, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham and The O2, playing short sets of about nine songs, and in November he returned as a headliner on the Stick Season tour, playing academy-sized venues in Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Bristol and two nights at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Within three months he was headlining arenas. The We'll All Be Here Forever tour of 2024 played the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, First Direct Arena in Leeds, Cardiff International Arena and two nights at OVO Arena Wembley in February, then Co-op Live in Manchester, Utilita Arena Newcastle, Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast, Utilita Arena Birmingham and two nights at The O2 in August.
In summer 2025 he headlined Blackweir Fields in Cardiff (27 June), played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury (29 June) and appeared at BST Hyde Park in London (4 July). The table below lists his documented UK shows; Irish dates such as Marlay Park in July 2025 are mentioned in the text but not included.
The table below lists 46 documented UK concerts by Noah Kahan between 2017 and 2026, with the most shows in London (14), Manchester (5), Glasgow (4), Cardiff (3), Birmingham (3), Leeds (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 15 most recent documented UK concerts with a full song list (10 February 2024 to 7 March 2026), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Noah Kahan has played Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage (29 June 2025) and BST Hyde Park (4 July 2025), and headlined his own outdoor show at Blackweir Fields in Cardiff (27 June 2025). In Ireland he headlined Marlay Park in Dublin on 1 July 2025. Those big summer shows were the bridge between his 2024 arena tour and the 2027 stadiums.
Noah Kahan was born on 1 January 1997 and grew up on a tree farm in Strafford, Vermont. His father taught him guitar and his mother, a writer, encouraged his songwriting; he started writing at eight and fronted his first band at about twelve. He later uploaded songs to SoundCloud and YouTube, and first toured at 19 as the opening act for the German band Milky Chance.
Signed to Republic Records in 2017, he released his debut album Busyhead in 2019, including 'Hurt Somebody' with Julia Michaels. The pandemic EP Cape Elizabeth (2020), written in a week, and the second album I Was / I Am (2021) followed, but it was the folk turn of Stick Season that changed everything.
He began posting snippets of 'Stick Season' on TikTok in October 2020, and by the time the full song came out on 8 July 2022 it was already viral. The album, produced by Gabe Simon, came out on 14 October 2022. The 2023 deluxe edition, Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever), added collaborations with Post Malone ('Dial Drunk'), Lizzy McAlpine ('Call Your Mom'), Kacey Musgraves ('She Calls Me Back'), Hozier ('Northern Attitude'), Gracie Abrams ('Everywhere, Everything') and Sam Fender ('Homesick').
He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 66th Grammy Awards and named on the TIME100 Next list in 2023. His fourth album, The Great Divide, was released on 24 April 2026 and debuted at number one in the US and the UK.
| Album | Year | UK chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Busyhead | 2019 | — |
| I Was / I Am | 2021 | 70 |
| Stick Season | 2022 | 1 |
| The Great Divide | 2026 | 1 |
'Stick Season' took more than a year to reach number one in the UK, climbing slowly through 2023 on streaming before topping the chart on 5 January 2024. Its story — a song about a small New England town in the grey weeks between autumn and winter — struck a chord with British listeners who knew nothing of Vermont, and its singalong chorus made it a fixture at festivals and pub singalongs alike.
The collaboration with Sam Fender on 'Homesick' tied him to one of Britain's biggest live artists, and Fender's north-east audience became a Noah Kahan audience too. That helps explain why his UK venues grew so quickly: from Kentish Town in November 2023 to OVO Arena Wembley in February 2024, The O2 in August 2024 and Wembley Stadium in 2027.
Busyhead (2019) is a polished pop-folk record, with 'Hurt Somebody', 'Mess' and 'Young Blood'. I Was / I Am (2021) is more personal but did not produce a hit. Stick Season (2022) is the breakthrough — songs such as 'Stick Season', 'Northern Attitude', 'Dial Drunk', 'Homesick', 'Orange Juice' and 'All My Love' are rooted in Vermont and in his struggles with anxiety and depression, which he discusses openly.
The Great Divide (2026) arrived with huge expectations and met them, debuting at number one on both sides of the Atlantic and setting streaming and vinyl records for a rock album debut in the US. Songs from it now sit alongside the Stick Season material at the heart of his live show.
Kahan has been open about his own mental health throughout his career, and in 2023 he launched The Busyhead Project, a fund supporting mental-health organisations, with a contribution from ticket sales on his tours. That openness is a big part of the connection his fans feel, and it is common to see handmade signs referencing his lyrics at UK shows.
His shows are built on the Stick Season songs — 'Northern Attitude', 'Stick Season', 'Dial Drunk', 'Homesick', 'She Calls Me Back', 'Orange Juice', 'All My Love', 'Call Your Mom' — and on songs from The Great Divide, with a full band, banjo, fiddle and mandolin alongside guitars and keys. He talks a lot between songs, often with self-deprecating humour about his anxieties.
The arena floors in November 2026 are standing, with seated tiers; the stadium pitches in July 2027 will be standing and the stands seated. At Wembley, plan for crowds of up to around 90,000 and leave plenty of time to get in and out.
November 2026 arena tickets were sold through Ticketmaster and the arenas' official outlets. For the 2027 stadiums, the artist presale took place on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 10am and general sale on Friday 28 August 2026 at 10am.
