Benson Boone

ONLY DATE IN GERMANY
The Grammy-nominated pop sensation with new album and exclusive show at the LANXESS arena

With his diary-like lyrics and intimate pop songs, Benson Boone is considered a pop sensation worldwide. From his debut single "Ghost Town" in 2021 to his platinum-selling debut album "Fireworks & Rollerblades" to the present day, the 22-year-old artist from Monroe, Washington is chasing his own records and becoming one of the most successful singers of his generation. In February, he performed his five-times platinum smash hit "Beautiful Things" at the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony, where he was nominated for Best New Artist. The song now has more than 4 billion global streams across all platforms since its release in January 2024. The single "In The Stars" also cracked the billion mark long ago and ranks ahead of his debut single and the song "Slow It Down" (2024) among the most successful tracks by the artist, who is currently one of the world's 50 most popular artists on Spotify at #37. With his brand new album "American Heart", which will be released on June 20 via Night Street Records / Warner Records, the musician will embark on a major world tour this fall. On his AMERICAN HEART WORLD TOUR, Benson Boone will be coming to the LANXESS arena on November 7.

While Benson Boone was growing up in Washington and learning to play the piano, he had no idea that he would start singing in 2019 and finish his studies after one semester to focus on his career as a singer and musician. He worked on his popularity via TikTok, took part in American Idol, but voluntarily left the Top 24 round and then signed with Night Street Records, where he released his debut single "Ghost Town" in 2021 and immediately scored his first hit. With his debut album "Fireworks & Rollerblades", Benson Boone spent 7 consecutive weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and took the international album charts by storm. In Germany, the debut album reached number 20 in the official charts. With two Billboard Music Awards, an MTV VMA and MTV EMA and other awards, the artist picked up prizes and nominations worldwide. In 2024, "Beautiful Things" became the most streamed song of the year, won the IFPI Global Single Award and set a new record with more than 69 weeks in the YouTube US Music Video Charts. After his worldwide sold-out Fireworks & Rollerblades Tour, he instantly sold out the US shows of his "American Heart" arena tour in the USA and further boosted his popularity as the opening act for Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey. The fact that over 55 million people currently listen to his music on Spotify every month is just one of many record-breaking statistics that provide a snapshot of the 22-year-old's enormous success. Now his second album "American Heart" is being anticipated with great anticipation worldwide: The current single "Momma Song" takes Benson Boone into heart-warming spheres of singer-songwriter pop and only hints at the status it could catapult the artist to at the end of June.
