Breakout star Benson Boone flips for new tour stopping in Austin
Pop star Benson Boone will perform at Austin's Moody Center on September 19.
Rising pop star Benson Boone will capitalize on his breakout year in 2024 with the upcoming American Heart arena tour, which will include a stop at Austin's Moody Center on Friday, September 19.
Fresh off his debut performance on Saturday Night Live, Boone will embark on a huge 30-city North American tour, kicking off in St. Paul, Minnesota, on August 22.
In addition to Austin, Boone will also perform in Houston on September 18 and Fort Worth on September 20.
The tour will be in support of his sophomore album, American Heart, scheduled for released on June 20.
That album is a quick turnaround from his 2024 debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, which went platinum and rose to as high as No. 6 on the Billboard 200.
Boone garnered a big number of award nominations and wins in 2024 and 2025, including a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, at which he showed off his now-signature flip while singing his hit song "Beautiful Things."
Ticket sales for the tour will start with an Amex Presale for American Express Card Members on Friday, May 7, at 10 am local time.
A special fan presale takes place on Thursday, May 8 from 2-10 pm on Ticketmaster.com with unlock code: BEAUTIFUL. The public on-sale begins Friday, May 9, at 10 am.
