About Benson Boone and the Wanted Man Tour

Benson Boone's trajectory from American Idol hopeful to global pop phenomenon is one of the defining music stories of the 2020s. The Monroe, Washington native first caught public attention as a contestant on Season 19 of American Idol in 2021, but it was his decision to leave the show early and sign with Warner Records that set the stage for what came next. His debut single "Ghost Town" went viral, and by 2024 his breakout hit "Beautiful Things" had become one of the biggest songs in the world — a soaring, piano-driven anthem that topped charts in over 20 countries and amassed billions of streams. At just 22, Boone has established himself as one of the most compelling vocalists and performers in modern pop.

His sophomore album American Heart, released in June 2025, proved that "Beautiful Things" was no fluke. The record debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and hit No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand, spawning a pair of 500-million-stream singles in "Mystical Magical" and "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else." Critics praised the album's emotional range and Boone's willingness to push beyond the piano-pop formula that made him famous, incorporating rock dynamics, orchestral arrangements, and raw confessional songwriting that connected with a rapidly growing global fanbase.

The Wanted Man Tour brings Boone to 36 dates across the United States from July 7 through September 2026. This is an arena tour in every sense — major venues include PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Barclays Center in Brooklyn (two nights), TD Garden in Boston, Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Allstate Arena in Rosemont (Chicago), Ball Arena in Denver, Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles (two nights), T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, American Airlines Center in Dallas, and Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
