Noah Kahan’s biggest headline show to date landed at Marlay Park last night, and what a night it was. Fresh off his Glastonbury appearance, the Vermont singer-songwriter brought his heart-on-sleeve storytelling, signature humour, and a whole lot of love for the Irish crowd. And judging by the thousands singing every word back, the feeling was mutual.
The setlist was packed with Noah’s usual emotional gut-punches and crowd favourites, including All My Love, Homesick, and the fan favourite Stick Season. Noah also slipped in some unreleased gems like Deny Deny and the already viral The Great Divide, teasing what’s to come. True to form, his banter between songs kept the tone light, cracking jokes about his style of music and thanking the crowd repeatedly for making this night so special. Noah is such a likable guy, he really does deserve all this success.
Warming up the crowd was rising Irish talent Sebastian Schub, followed by none other than Djo, the music project of Stranger Things star Joe Keery. The park erupted during Djo’s set, especially when End of Beginning kicked in. Phones shot into the air as fans scrambled to record the viral hit, a moment that felt as big as any headline act. By the time Noah hit the stage, the energy was sky-high and stayed there all night.
