Noah Kahan is bringing his growing stadium empire to Tampa. The singer-songwriter announced a concert at Raymond James Stadium for Thursday, April 29, 2027, as part of a newly unveiled global run called The Last of the Bugs World Tour.
Kahan's Tampa stop is one piece of a 31-date stadium tour spanning North America, Europe and the United Kingdom, according to themusicuniverse.com. As the Tampa Bay Times reports, Kahan is billed as a singer-songwriter whose profile has risen enough to headline a stadium circuit, and the outlet notes his world tour is designed to curb pricey resale tickets. The North American leg of the run is set to kick off April 24, 2027, at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, per the same tour-dates report.
Ticket access follows a now-familiar rhythm for Kahan's fan base. Presales begin Tuesday, November 10, with remaining tickets opening to the general public Thursday, November 12, at noon local venue time, themusicuniverse.com reports.
A Grammy Nod and a Growing List of Collaborators
A Grammy Nod and a Fast-Rising Profile Kahan's rise to stadium-headliner status has been fast. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2024 Grammys, according to thatssotampa.com. That same report frames his current touring stretch as evidence that his popularity has risen quickly to a nationwide, coast-to-coast scale.
Tampa Bay Times music, nostalgia and offbeat Florida trends reporter Gabrielle Calise wrote the announcement for the paper's music news section. The accompanying photo shows Kahan performing at the 2025 BottleRock festival at the Napa Valley Expo in Napa, California, on May 25.
Following Up a Record-Breaking Summer Run
The Tampa date arrives on the heels of Kahan's Great Divide Tour, a 23-date North American stadium run that Variety reported would begin June 11, 2026, in Orlando and wrap Aug. 30 in Seattle. Variety also reported that Gigi Perez served as his opening act.
Highlights from that stretch included a sold-out four-show run at Boston's Fenway Park that summer, according to The Music Universe, along with stops at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 25 and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Aug. 15, according to Variety. Per themusicuniverse.com, the Great Divide World Tour sold more than 1.8 million tickets worldwide.
Keeping Resale Prices in Check
Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange is a tool designed to help fans buy tickets at the original price, with resales on the platform restricted to face value, according to the company's help documentation. A Ticketmaster blog post adds that in states where laws prevent such resale restrictions, the company says it will still try to honor those terms by keeping prices at face value on its own site.
It remains to be seen whether the same resale framework will apply in identical form to The Last of the Bugs World Tour, though the Tampa Bay Times describes the new tour's broader goal as curbing pricey resale tickets. Fans eyeing the Raymond James Stadium show will want to mark their calendars for the November 10 presale and the November 12 general on-sale.
