Benson Boone is scheduled to headline a Wells Fargo Autograph Card concert Thursday at Palladium Times Square, a 2,200-capacity venue. The New York date follows Boone’s sold-out Aug. 4 hometown show for more than 17,000 fans at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena during his Wanted Man Tour, according to the Lynnwood Times.

Cardholder access

The concert is available to eligible Wells Fargo Autograph cardholders, while other eligible Wells Fargo credit cardholders can purchase any remaining tickets. Autograph cardholders receive 6:30 p.m. early entry, a 30% merchandise discount and a complimentary gift while supplies last, according to AwardWallet.

Boone’s appearance is part of the Wells Fargo Autograph Card Exclusives series, which offers eligible cardholders access to major artists in smaller venues around the country. The program began in November 2023 with Mumford & Sons in Los Angeles and has also featured Fall Out Boy and Alanis Morissette, as reported by amNewYork.

The venue

Palladium Times Square previously operated as the Loews Astor Plaza movie theater from 1974 to 2004. A $21 million renovation designed by architect David Rockwell converted the site into a live-events venue, according to Palladium Times Square.

Boone’s career

Boone began his music career in early 2021 when he auditioned for American Idol and later withdrew in the Top 24. Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds subsequently discovered him on TikTok and signed him to Night Street Records, according to Britannica. Raised in Monroe, Washington, Boone did not sing publicly until his junior year of high school after focusing on competitive diving and tennis.

“Beautiful Things” was named the biggest-selling global single of 2024 by the IFPI, which reported 2.11 billion global subscription stream equivalents. Boone also received a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
