Summary
40,000 fans filled Wrigley Field on July 15 as Noah Kahan wrapped the second of two sold-out Chicago shows with a 2 1/2-hour set capped by “Stick Season” and fireworks.
The performance underscored how Kahan’s emotionally heavy songs turned communal live, with singalongs to “Dashboard,” “All My Love” and “Stick Season” giving the heat-wave crowd a sense of connection rather than gloom.
Setlist highlights included “Dial Drunk” flowing into “Willing and Able,” “Northern Attitude” into “The Great Divide,” and the tour’s first performance of unreleased fan favorite “Pain Is Cold Water.”
Kahan also leaned into his fast rise—from playing Chicago’s 165-capacity Schubas about a decade ago to headlining a packed baseball stadium—while his six-piece band and a three-horn encore helped scale the bonfire feel to arena size.
