Benson Boone is getting ready to hit arenas across North America and Europe with his American Heart World Tour, starting with August 22 in Saint Paul, and wrapping up November 18 in Stockholm. That's 51 shows—his longest run to date, and his first all-arena tour. But, it's not just your average concert. He’s that guy who does backflips, right? He learned to do backflips from his dad when he was young—crazy!
At BottleRock Napa, he even made "Moonbeam ice cream" live on stage, inspired by his song “Mystical Magical” how cool is that? I can only imagine that moment during a concert when he created dessert while singing—definitely shock, fun, and it feels really personal. And guess what? He's now seeing fans post their own versions of making Moonbeam ice cream—it makes it real and able to be shared
- Moonbeam ice cream premiere at BottleRock
- Backflips nightly in his live performances
- 51 arena dates in total including major cities like NYC, LA and Toronto
It’s like he’s saying, “I want you to feel this. This is me and my world.”
Why This Album Feels Personal (Not Just a Promo)
His album American Heart releases June 20, and we are already hearing emotional tracks. “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” feels like a clip from a very short heartbreak story, and “Mystical Magical” is catchy and dreamy tone—he actually calls it “the moonbeam ice cream song!
He described making that song as a shift from a weird, low-energy day to fun creativity. You know that feeling when your mood flips? He captured it. It’s raw, relatable, and shows he’s more than his last hit, Beautiful Things:
“I’ve never believed so much in a body of work,” he said—so he’s stepping up, no doubt.
Exclusive Tour Moves You Won’t Expect
Now here’s where it gets interesting—stuff no one’s really shouting about yet:
-
He’s partnering with Google Maps to share his favorite local spots in each city. Feels like hanging out with a friend.
-
Surprise guests—remember Brian May joining him at Coachella for “Bohemian Rhapsody”? That blew up online.
-
Extra tour dates keep getting added—Manchester and Amsterdam filled quick, so he added more shows in London and Salt Lake City.
-
He’s teaming with American Express and Amex Experiences to give early ticket access—makes the tour feel VIP for fans.
It’s like he’s designing the full experience, not just dropping an album.
Why This Matters More Than a Tour
I feel like Benson Boone is quietly reinventing what a pop star can be—he blends acrobatics, emotional honesty, and fan connection. He’s not hiding behind industry polish. He’s living his story in front of us:
-
He’s talked about quitting American Idol as a smart move—Katy Perry backed him there, and she’s checking in on how he’s doing now.
-
American Heart draws on real experiences—like surviving a near-fatal car crash (his song “Young American Heart” references that).
-
His sound channels Bruce Springsteen’s Americana vibes, not just slick pop tunes.
This isn't just music—it's bits of his life shared with fans in real time. And people feel that.
