Noah Kahan’s concert this past Saturday night exceeded all expectations, delivering an unforgettable experience that left me in awe. Singing tracks from his latest album ‘Stick Season’ alongside some oldies, Kahan showcased not only his exceptional musical talent but also his stand up comedy skills and relatability. Surrounded by a bunch of 20 somethings who are all going through the same things (in different fonts), it was almost a musical therapy situation.
Kahan kicked off the night with the crowd favorite “Dial Drunk”, a cult classic heard countless times on the radio, setting the tone for the level of energy he and the audience were willing to give on a Saturday night. Transitioning seamlessly into “New Perspective,” Kahan then surprised us with his first comedy set of the evening. Sharing a hilarious story about his first time performing in Toronto, where he resorted to using his mom’s credit card to ensure a sold-out show spending north of $500 on the remaining tickets, Kahan effortlessly charmed the audience.

Amidst a heartfelt performance of his track “Everywhere, Everything”, which stirred emotions in every corner of the stadium, Kahan transformed the stage into an intimate space reminiscent of his mom’s living room for the next song, “Come Over”. As he belted out old hits, spanning his musical journey since 2017, it became clear that his music holds a profound significance for his fans.
The mood shifted as Kahan indulged us with his witty banter once again, introducing “Your Needs, My Needs” with a quip about Zoloft, a moment that resonated with many in the audience. The subsequent songs from the same album further captivated us, showcasing Kahan’s versatility as an artist.

A highlight of the night occurred when Kahan ventured into the crowd to perform a heart-wrenching acoustic rendition of “Growing Sideways” on stage B. The intimacy of the moment left an indelible mark on everyone present, a testament to his ability to connect deeply with his audience.
Returning to the main stage, Kahan continued the show with an array of hits, culminating in a powerful rendition of “Call Your Mom” that had the entire arena singing along in unison. This moment in particular made me sob. The emotional echo of this experience was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed at a concert, evoking genuine tears and overwhelming gratitude. Toronto fans clearly go hard for Noah.
