Boone Benson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Benson Boone’s star isn’t just rising these days; it’s practically pirouetting. The 23-year-old Washington native is all over headlines, social media, and Google Maps, having kicked off his first-ever arena world tour—the American Heart Tour—this Friday, August 22, at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, the last concert under that banner before the rename to Grand Casino Arena according to the Minnesota Star Tribune and KDWB. Touted as a must-see by The Early Registration and The Hollywood Beat, Boone brings his signature backflips and soaring vocals to sold-out crowds, following a summer spent dazzling at Montreux and a surprise on-stage jam with Queen’s Brian May at Coachella, as reported by The Hollywood Beat. If his sophomore album American Heart launching June 20 at number two on Billboard 200 didn’t make enough noise, his viral single Beautiful Things is now certified five times platinum, topping the IFPI Global Single chart for 2024, and in heavy rotation everywhere from Spotify to TikTok. The United Center in Chicago will host Boone this Saturday, August 23; expect a night of retro-tinged anthems and crowd-pleasing stunts. Fans can even find him guiding them through Chicago—literally. In a quirky, headline-grabbing business move, Google Maps launched a Boone-themed Mustang avatar and a back-flipping Pegman on desktop Street View at each venue stop, plus Boone’s carefully curated “Go List” of hidden gems in every tour city, an idea highlighted by USA Today and b1039. On social media, Boone hasn’t stopped moving, literally. He posted a living room breakdancing video that iHeart called “mind-boggling spins,” sending fans and critics into a flurry yet again. Speaking of critics, Boone is no stranger to internet scrutiny. As covered by USA Today and AOL, some call him gimmicky, but Boone owns every bit of online chatter, even cheekily asking for “a day off from the haters” in a viral TikTok birthday plea. Meanwhile, the rest of TikTok can’t resist gushing about his new album, with fans and influencers saying American Heart delivers unexpected depth and infectious nostalgia for a new generation. Every headline—whether it’s packed concert dates reported by every major media outlet, a viral partnership with Google, or backflipping rebuttals to the haters—cements Boone Boone’s wild career momentum. No confirmed controversies, just the mainstream making room for his rocket-fueled pop showmanship. If there’s speculation to be had, it’s only about how far he’ll go from here, with even more arena dates and festival appearances already booked across Europe through November.
