Noah Kahan is doing what he can to bridge the great divide between North American cities by embarking on a stadium tour of the continent this summer, as announced Monday (Feb. 2).

Sharing the dates on Instagram, the folk hitmaker revealed that — joined by supporting act Gigi Perez — the trek will kick off June 11 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Fla., and will span 23 shows, ending Aug. 30 in Seattle at T-Mobile Park. The tour will come to Toronto's Rogers Stadium on Jun. 28 and Vancouver's BC Place on Aug. 28.


“I’m hitting the road this summer,” he wrote in the caption. “Can’t wait to bring The Great Divide Tour to stadiums across North America! I’m also excited to have my friend @gigi4perez join me.”

“I’m so grateful to continue the mission of @thebusyheadproject with this tour,” Kahan added, shouting out his Busyhead mental health initiative. “I can’t wait to see all your beautiful faces.”

The tour announcement is just the latest piece of Kahan news in the past week. On Jan. 28, he announced that his next album, The Great Divide, will drop April 24, four years after he last released an LP. His 2022 full-length, Stick Season, brought the singer-songwriter’s career to the next level, steadily climbing the Billboard 200 before peaking at No. 2 in 2024, spawning Billboard Hot 100 hits such as “Stick Season” and “Dial Drunk” in the process.

Fans have already heard the new album’s lead single, with title track “The Great Divide” dropping Jan. 30. During the Sunday (Feb. 1) Grammys broadcast, Mastercard premiered the song’s meaningful music video while the ceremony was on commercial break.

And on top of all that, two days prior to the tour news, it was announced that a still-untitled documentary chronicling Kahan’s life over the past few years had found a home at Netflix. “When we started filming, I had no idea what we’d capture, only that Noah was determined to be honest about everything, especially the messy bits,” director Nick Sweeney said in a statement on the project, which does not yet have a release date. “He was in a strange in-between moment, caught in the collision between almost surreal fame and a quieter inner world he’d tried to keep offstage.”

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
