After two previous tours, two studio albums, and live performances on the Grammys and more, fast-rising pop-rock musician Benson Boone is headlining New York City for the first time, bringing his American Heart World Tour to Madison Square Garden on September 5 only.

The singer/songwriter first came into the public eye by auditioning for American Idol, dropping out to further his career — a move that paid off when his music began going viral on TikTok. Now, he's a global sensation, having opened for Taylor Swift, earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and released two studio albums that thrill his audiences almost as much as his signature backflips do.
