Noah Kahan<\/a> announced The Great Divide Tour on Feb. 2, which is almost exclusively in North American stadiums this summer. He has been playing shows for nearly a decade, but is only three years removed from his last stint as an opening act. It\u2019s an alarmingly fast ascent to headlining baseball fields, but considering the exponential growth of his last handful of touring cycles, it isn\u2019t such a stretch.<\/p>\n

Kahan kicked off his next era on Jan. 28 with the announcement of The Great Divide<\/em>. It\u2019s set for release on April 24, but he\u2019s already begun the rollout with new music. The album\u2019s title track surfaced on Friday (Jan. 30) and immediately got the ball rolling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Great Divide\u201d debuted atop Spotify\u2019s Daily Top Songs USA chart and remains in the top 10 there and on real-time Apple Music rankings. Kahan premiered the song\u2019s music video during Sunday\u2019s (Feb. 1) Grammy telecast, fueling a top 10 start on YouTube\u2019s trending chart.<\/p>\n

All this immediate success portends strong box-office returns for Kahan\u2019s upcoming concerts, but stadium tours are typically reserved for artists with proven Boxscore bonafides, one album cycle after another. The Great Divide<\/em> will be his fourth studio LP, but he\u2019s only cracked the top half of the Billboard 200<\/a> with one of them.<\/p>\n

How, then, is Kahan well set up to sell out baseball stadiums across the United States this summer? Keep reading for a breakdown of the trajectory from low-ticket clubs to some of the biggest venues in the country.<\/p>\n
