Noah Kahan

In the organizer's words:

Noah Kahan will be stopping off in Cologne for one of only two shows in Germany as part of his "The Great Divide Tour". On Thursday, 26.11.2026, the US-American will perform his blend of emotional storytelling and modern folk-pop in Germany's largest multifunctional arena.

A two-time Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum singer-songwriter, Noah Kahan has evolved from his roots in Vermont to become a globally resonant voice of his generation. To date, the 29-year-old has already amassed almost 15 billion streams. streams, sold almost 12 million albums and received 22 platinum and gold awards. In addition to the two Grammy nominations, he has also been recognized at awards ceremonies such as the BRIT Awards, Billboard Music Awards, iHeart Radio Music Awards, People's Choice Awards and the Americana Honors & Awards. However, he has remained true to his musical principles ever since. At the heart of Noah Kahan's music remains what his fans have loved from the beginning: honest storytelling, exposed vulnerability, and stirring folk-pop songs that help their listeners feel understood.

Noah Kahan's career took off after signing with Republic Records at the age of 18 and releasing his debut album "Busyhead" (2019). This was followed in 2021 by the LP "I Was / I Am", which took him into the UK charts and the Billboard 200 for the first time. However, the breakthrough came through viral success on TikTok, which turned "Stick Season" into a cultural phenomenon in 2022: Within two years, the quadruple-platinum album, with its eight-times platinum title track, became a number one album in North America, the UK and Europe, as well as the fourth best-selling long player of 2024, and laid the foundation for his nonprofit organization The Busyhead Project, launched in 2023, which has raised over $5.5 million to date to raise awareness for the importance of mental health. On the album itself, Kahan collaborated with artists such as Post Malone ("Dial Drunk"), Lizzy McAlpine ("Call Your Mom"), Kacey Musgraves ("She Calls Me Back"), Hozier ("Northern Attitude"), Gracie Abrams ("Everywhere, Everything") and Sam Fender ("Homesick") and set new standards for his music.

With "The Great Divide", the fourth studio album to be released on April 24 via Mercury Records, Noah Kahan is now embarking on the next artistic era of his career. The album was produced by Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Bon Iver) and "Stick Season" collaborator Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, Koe Wetzel). It was created in the midst of Kahan's rocket-like rise to global fame and shows the singer-songwriter at his most honest, reflective and emotionally resonant yet. A side that has been moved by success, identity, family, distance and the unspoken truths that separate people from others. "The Great Divide" builds on his unique storytelling while pushing his sound into expansive, anthemic and sonically adventurous territories. With the new album in the bag, Noah Kahan then embarks on The Great Divide Tour. His biggest headline tour to date, which will bring him to Cologne and Munich at the end of 2026 after appearances in North American stadiums. Supporting him will be Mon Rovîa.
