Sing Your Heart Out With Noah Kahan at Petco Park
Some songs are built to be shouted back by a few thousand people at once, and Noah Kahan writes almost nothing but those. The Great Divide Tour lands at Petco Park, with Gigi Perez opening.
If Stick Season has been quietly running your fall playlists for the last few years, this is the one to clear the calendar for.
From Small-Town Vermont to a Downtown Ballpark
Noah Kahan grew up in Strafford, Vermont, and you can hear it in the writing. His songs deal in mental health, small-town restlessness, and the slow work of growing up, carried by enough acoustic warmth that none of it lands heavy.
Stick Season broke him out in 2022, the title track went global, and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist followed. Folk-pop has no shortage of storytellers right now, but very few of them are filling ballparks.
That’s the whole appeal of seeing him at this scale. These are quiet, interior songs, and they get sung back at full volume by a crowd that knows every line.
Gigi Perez and the Rise of “Sailor Song”
Gigi Perez opens the night, and she’s worth catching up on before you go. She built her audience on “Celene” and “Sometimes (Backwood),” then broke through internationally with “Sailor Song.”
Her 2025 debut, At the Beach, In Every Life, carried that same raw, deeply personal writing into a full-length record. Expect an opening set that sets the emotional register early and doesn’t ease you in.
Downtown Sits Just Past the Outfield
Petco Park turns into something different for a show like this. The field opens up, the skyline sits right there beyond the outfield wall, and the ballpark trades baseball for a stage and a sea of phone lights.
East Village does the rest. Get there early, eat somewhere within walking distance, and give yourself enough runway to be in your seat before Gigi Perez starts.
See you there!
Grab your tickets, pace yourself through the opener, and accept now that you’ll lose your voice somewhere in the back half of the set.
