Benson Boone, nominated for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, will bring his American Heart tour to Glendale on September 24.

After spending most of the summer playing at international festivals, the tour launches at the Xcel Energy Center on August 22 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It then hits major venues like NYC’s Madison Square Garden before stopping at Desert Diamond Arena.

Boone recently dropped the second track, “Mystical Magical,” from his "American Heart" record, debuting it live at Coachella. It was a big night for the former "American Idol" contestant, as later he brought out Queen’s Brian May to do a cover of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the ‘70s hit that seems to find new life every decade.

Benson has blown up since American Idol and his subsequent TikTok posts focusing on his singing. It’s been four years of awards and noms, and playing gigs from the coveted "Saturday Night Live" slot to whole different kinds of whoppers like opening for T-Swift at Wembley Stadium on the Eras tour to performing with Lana Del Rey.

Part of the American Heart tour includes a partnership with Google Maps, and the union is twofold. He will share his favorite local places for fans to check out and also to help people find the best routes to the venues.

Tickets are on sale via the artist’s website.
