Benson Boone at the Co-Op Live - everything you need to know
Grammy-nominated sensation Benson Boone will head to the UK & Ireland this week for the latest legs of the American Heart World Tour. Here’s everything you need to know.
The American Heart World Tour, which got underway at the Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, Minnesota, back in August, marks Boone’s first all-arena concert tour in a year that has seen the singer go from strength to strength. After earning a nomination for the Best New Artist at the 67th annual Grammy Awards in February, Boone delivered an eye-catching rendition of his megahit ‘Beautiful Things’ at the event in Los Angeles.
In April, the hitmaker performed on the main stage at Coachella, where he delivered a memorable performance of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ alongside Brian May before appearing at major festivals, including the Governor’s Ball in New York, the Mad Cool Festival in Spain and Portugal’s NOS Alive in the summer. To add to the hectic nature of Boone’s 2025, the singer released his hotly anticipated sophomore album, ‘American Heart’, in June, which reached No. 2 in the Billboard 200 and No. 4 in the UK charts.
Starting off with a date at Belfast’s SSE Arena, the UK and Ireland leg of Boone’s tour will see the singer head to Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham before culminating with three successive nights at the O2 Arena – a year after Boone headlined the 5,000-capacity Brixton Academy.
Ahead of the tour kicking off in Belfast on Thursday evening, we’ve put together a list of everything you need to know ahead of time.
Who will be supporting Benson Boone?
For all of Boone’s performances across the UK and Ireland, he’ll be joined by fast-rising, rock-and-roll sensation Elliot James Reay, who supported the 23-year-old on the first-half of the North American leg of the ‘American Heart World Tour’ . Reay, who began his career busking on the streets of Bury, released his debut single, ‘I Think They Call This Love’ in July 2024 and signed with Interscope and EMI Records, and garnered comparisons with the likes of Billy Fury, Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison.
