Noah Kahan performs largest headlining show at Rose Bowl with Chappell Roan
Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan performed his largest headlining show to date at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, on August 15, 2026. The sold-out event drew a crowd of over 56,000 fans as part of his ‘The Great Divide Tour’.
During the 27-song set, Kahan surprised the audience by bringing out Chappell Roan for a duet of her song ‘California’. Kahan noted that the track was the first song by Roan he had ever heard and expressed his pride in her music. Roan praised Kahan, stating, “Noah always stands up for me, seriously. He’s a good person, for real.”
The concert featured hits from Kahan’s latest album, ‘The Great Divide’, as well as tracks from his breakthrough album, ‘Stick Season’. Kahan reflected on his career progression, noting that he once viewed playing at the Troubadour as the pinnacle of his success.
Kahan’s tour is scheduled to continue with a stop at Petco Park in San Diego before concluding its North American leg in Seattle on August 31. Chappell Roan is also slated to perform at the Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, on August 29.
