Noah Kahan Announces Benefit Concert in Boston

Here's everything we know, including how to get tickets to the concert.

Noah Kahan is having a year, and not just musically. The 27-year-old Vermont native has gone from cult-favorite singer-songwriter to a major voice in folk-pop, all while using his platform to push for better mental health resources. His latest move makes that mission literal: a benefit concert in Boston this November, with proceeds going directly to mental health organizations.

Benefit shows happen all the time, but what makes this one stand out is how tied it is to Kahan’s identity. Through his nonprofit, The Busyhead Project, he’s turned his personal experience with mental health into something larger. It’s not just about raising awareness; it’s about raising real money for local groups that are doing the work. The Boston concert is the latest example, and it feels less like a side gig and more like a natural extension of his career.

The concert is set for November, though the exact venue details are still rolling out. What we do know is that it will be in the Boston area and structured differently than your average ticketed show. Instead of the usual mad dash to Ticketmaster, Kahan and his team have set up a ticket lottery system. Fans can enter their names for a chance to purchase tickets, which makes the process feel fairer than first-come, first-served. It’s a way to avoid the nightmare of scalpers snatching up seats and reselling them at triple the price.

So, how do you get tickets to Noah Kahan's benefit concert in Boston?

The process is simple. Fans can sign up through Kahan’s official website and register for the lottery. Once you’ve entered, you’ll be notified if you’re selected to purchase tickets when they go on sale. All proceeds from the show will go toward mental health organizations in New England, which means that even the act of buying a ticket is a contribution. If you miss out on the lottery, there may be additional ways to support through donations linked to the concert, so keep an eye on his channels for updates.

The Boston benefit also fits into a larger pattern for Kahan. He recently hosted a “Folk & Fairways” event in Vermont, combining music and golf to raise funds, and he’s been consistently vocal about weaving mental health advocacy into his career. This isn’t about one splashy show—it’s about building a reputation as someone who connects art with action.

Expect the setlist to mirror that. Kahan has plenty of songs that deal directly with vulnerability and mental health, and it’s easy to imagine him leaning into those for this event. A benefit show is about music, yes, but it’s also about creating a space where the audience feels like they’re part of something bigger than a performance. In Boston, that means a night where the lyrics, the cause, and the crowd all align.

For fans, this is more than just another tour stop. It’s a chance to see an artist who’s reshaping what it means to use a platform well. If you’re thinking about going, sign up for the ticket lottery now and cross your fingers. Even if you don’t snag a seat, supporting The Busyhead Project is another way to be part of it.
