Noah Kahan Wraps 29 Shows, Raises $3 Million for Mental Health and Scores a Number One Album

Noah Kahan has officially closed out the 29-date North American leg of The Great Divide tour, and he’s heading into a three-week break before 28 more shows across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the U.K. and Europe. How’s he spending the downtime? Weddings. Several of them. The newlywed singer is squeezing in friends’big days before the next leg kicks off, and honestly, that’s the most relatable rock star move we’ve seen all year.

The break isn’t all celebration, though. His Folk&Fairways event in Vermont, a golf tournament plus headlining concert, raised $3 million for The Busyhead Project, his mental health nonprofit. Since launching in 2023, The Busyhead Project has now raised $13 million total. That’s the kind of number that goes way beyond album sales and streaming stats.

Speaking of stats, The Great Divide debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 after its April 24 release. It’s his fourth album and it features“End of August,”a track built around the seasonal feeling Kahan calls“late-August angst.”He also delivered a haunting rendition of“Bridge Over Troubled Water”during the Emmys In Memoriam segment earlier this year, a performance that had the internet collectively emotional.
