Noah Kahan

Noah Kahan weaves the best of his influences into heartfelt songs with an unfiltered honesty. His voice is reminiscent of Paul Simon’s, he’s a fan of Bon Iver and Mumford & Sons and has friendships with Post Malone and Kacey Musgraves. The American singer-songwriter first made waves as a young twenty-something with “Hurt Somebody” (2019), but his rise was slowed by the pandemic. Kahan turned to TikTok, where he went viral with “Stick Season,” arguably the slowest-burning hit of the century. He posted the first verse in October 2020, and the overwhelming response inspired him to finish the song bit by bit. It was completed by July 2022 and climbed the charts in 2024, by which point Kahan had become a global sensation. His first Belgian concert at La Madeleine sold out in minutes, and just a few months later, he filled the much larger Forest National.
