Noah Kahan at AO Arena, Manchester

THE LIVE SHOW
What Noah Kahan concerts are like
Noah Kahan plays folk-pop songs about small-town New England, anxiety and family, and his concerts feel like one very large singalong. His band brings banjo, mandolin and fiddle to the stage, and the quiet verses often turn into full-crowd choruses.
He talks a lot between songs, usually self-deprecating stories about Vermont and his own mental health. He has also raised money for mental health organisations through The Busyhead Project, and that theme runs through the evening. Bigger rooms have not changed the songs, which still rest on acoustic guitar and group harmonies.
Tips for the Manchester show
- Learn the words to Stick Season, Dial Drunk and Northern Attitude; the crowd sings them louder than the band.
- Expect the crowd to go quiet for the slower songs such as Call Your Mom; phones and chatter tend to come out only between songs.
- Standing floor tickets fill with dedicated fans early, so arrive well before doors if you want to be near the front.
New to the music? Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever) is the edition to hear, as it includes the collaborations and extra songs from the live set.

Getting to AO Arena
AO Arena is an indoor arena in Manchester city centre, with a capacity of around 21,000. The arena is connected to Manchester Victoria station (rail and Metrolink). The listed address is Victoria Station, Hunts Bank, Manchester.
As an indoor arena, it is weather-proof, but bag-size limits and cloakroom queues are common, so travel light.
Travelling to Manchester for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Manchester Airport (MAN). A Monday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
Flying in the day before the concert leaves room for delays and gives you time to see Manchester before the show.
