Noah Kahan has seen an extraordinary rise over the past year, taking his unique blend of Folk, Americana, and Rock from his New England roots to worldwide fame. His 2022 album Stick Season, celebrated for capturing the nuances of small-town life and its bittersweet comfort, skyrocketed to UK Top 10 success. The hit single 'Stick Season' achieved a Double Platinum certification, became the UK’s longest-running Number 1 of 2024, and solidified his place as one of the year's most influential artists. The track and album even topped both the Official Singles and Albums Chart simultaneously in February. With over five billion streams and sold-out world tours, Kahan’s impact continues to grow, including his sold-out performances at iconic venues like OVO Wembley Arena and the O2 Arena. Now, his headlining slot at BST Hyde Park’s Great Oak Stage is set to be one of the defining shows of his career.
Gracie Abrams, also making her BST Hyde Park debut, has rapidly emerged as a leading voice in pop. Known for her poignant songwriting, Abrams captured listeners’ hearts with her breakout project minor in 2020 and her EP This Is What It Feels Like in 2021. Her debut album Good Riddance, produced by Aaron Dessner, earned critical acclaim, and her recent sophomore album, The Secret of Us, continued to showcase her depth and talent. Fresh off her tour as a supporting act for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, Abrams brings her celebrated artistry to London, marking another highlight of next summer’s concert calendar.

Hailing from Oologah, Oklahoma, Bryan’s career took flight while he was still serving in the U.S. Navy. With debut albums DeAnn (2019) and Elisabeth (2020) self-released on YouTube, Bryan rapidly built a dedicated fan base. After joining Warner Records in 2021, he dropped his breakout album American Heartbreak, claiming his place in the music industry with his classic country-inspired sound and modern Americana edge.
Bryan’s rise continued with hit collaborations alongside artists like Maggie Rogers, Noah Kahan, Bon Iver, and Kacey Musgraves, reaching a new peak with his Grammy-winning single “I Remember Everything” in 2023. His self-titled 2023 album cemented him as a defining voice of his generation, blending country, bluegrass, and gospel, while his July 2024 album, The Great American Bar Scene, featured iconic collaborations with John Mayer and Bruce Springsteen, and has only heightened his acclaim.

Raw and Introspective: Noah Kahan, at O2 Forum Kentish Town, reviewed
Noah Kahan
O2 Kentish Town
If you haven't heard of Noah Kahan, you probably aren't on TikTok because you can barely scroll without hearing the rousing 'Stick Season'. His folk inspired music is beautiful and his lyrics are so heartfelt and moving, it's no surprise he's quickly building a dedicated fanbase. There's no doubt that Noah is certainly going to keep reaching new levels of success so I'm honoured to have watched him in this fairly intimate venue. Noah's music is filled with raw emotion and this London show got to showcase his stunning musicianship, and his authentic connection with the audience that few artists can achieve.
The intimate setting of Kentish Town provided the perfect backdrop for Noah’s unique blend of folk and indie-pop, allowing his lyrics to take centre stage. Opening with 'Northern Attitude,' Noah immediately set the tone for the evening – honest, vulnerable, and utterly captivating. His voice, both powerful and tender, resonated through the venue, enveloping the audience in a warm embrace.
In between songs, Noah took a moment to reflect on just how far he’s come. He shared a story about his first London show back in 2018 at The Social, where he played to a crowd of just 77 people. To see him now, commanding the stage at Kentish Town with a packed house, was a testament to his journey and the love his fans have for him. The way he spoke about it, with genuine amazement and gratitude, made the night feel even more special– like we were all part of this incredible rise.
One of the standout moments was his performance of 'She Calls Me Back,' where the energy in the room was electric. The crowd sang along to every word, creating a beautiful, shared experience that felt almost like a conversation between Noah and the audience. This was followed by the hauntingly beautiful 'False Confidence,' where his raw vocal delivery sent chills down our spines.
The setlist was a perfect mix of fan favourites and deeper cuts, showcasing Noah’s growth as an artist. His live rendition of 'Godlight' was a particular highlight, with the crowd’s harmonies blending with his voice in a way that was nothing short of magical. Later in the set, 'Stick Season' brought the house down, with its poignant lyrics and infectious melody echoing through the venue as the crowd sang along in unison.
Noah’s authenticity shone through in every song, especially during 'New Perspective,' where his storytelling prowess was on full display. He has an uncanny ability to articulate the complexities of emotion and the human experience, leaving the audience feeling deeply moved and connected.
The band’s tight, cohesive performance was the perfect complement to Noah’s vocals, adding depth and richness to the live renditions of his songs. The sound quality at Kentish Town was superb, allowing every nuance of the performance to be appreciated.
Closing the night with 'Homesick', Noah left us all in awe, wrapping up a set that was as introspective as it was uplifting. Overall, Noah Kahan’s concert at Kentish Town was a masterclass in live performance. His ability to create such an intimate, heartfelt experience in a live setting is a testament to his talent and dedication as an artist. This was more than just a concert– it was a profound experience that will resonate with those in attendance for a long time. If you have the chance to see Noah Kahan live, take it. You won’t be disappointed.
