Noah Kahan: The Last of the Bugs World Tour

The North American leg opens April 24, 2027 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, includes four nights at Boston's Fenway Park, and closes June 18 at MetLife Stadium (Consequence). Europe follows from July, with three nights at London's Wembley Stadium on July 23 to 25.

How to get tickets for 2027 tours
Big stadium tours often sell many seats before the general on-sale, so registering early can matter as much as being fast on sale day.
- Register for the artist presale. Most tours now require sign-up days before the sale. Noah Kahan's North American deadline, for example, is November 5, five days before his presale. Fan club members often have to register too.
- Check card and sponsor presales. Visa, Citi, Mastercard, Verizon and Spotify have all run presales for 2027 tours. If you hold one of these, you may get an early window.
- Note the local time zone. On-sales usually open at 10 a.m. or noon in the venue's time zone, not yours.
- Know the transfer rules. Face-value-only tickets, like Noah Kahan's in North America, can't be resold above what you paid. Plan who is going before you buy.
- Pick a backup date. Short runs like Luke Combs' 12 shows sell fast. A second city can be your safety net.
- Compare resale before you pay. If you miss out, prices often vary widely across marketplaces. TicketWhiz compares listings from major sites in one search, so you can see the cheapest seat for a show quickly.
