Benson Boone has officially entered arena tour territory.
The 23-year-old Grammy-nominated artist kicked off his first-ever all-arena trek, the American Heart World Tour, with a sold-out performance at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota on Friday (August 22).
Known for his dynamic stage presence, Benson wasted no time delivering an unforgettable opening night. He began the show with one of his signature flips before literally soaring across the arena — suspended on a chandelier — while performing “Mystical Magical.”
The launch marks the start of a massive 50-show run that will take him across the U.S. and through Europe in the coming months.
Fans eager to catch him live still have a chance, though many dates have already sold out. Resale tickets are available on Stubhub and Vivid Seats, while Ticketmaster still lists limited availability for select stops.
For opening night, Benson’s setlist was packed with fan favorites and a few surprises. The 22-song set included hits like “In the Stars,” “Sugar Sweet,” and his breakout “Beautiful Things,” as well as a Coldplay cover (“Sparks”) that got the crowd singing along.
