I Just Read About That…

[ATTENDED: September 26, 2025] Noah Kahan–All Things Go [Day 1]

Noah Kahan was the headliner for Friday night.

I know that I exist in a musical world that is all of my own so I didn’t know Noah at all.  I was aware of his song Stick Season because my daughter played it for me, but it seemed like he was basically a folk singer.  So I guess I don’t understand kids these days.

Anyhow, I was surprised that he would be the headliner, but clearly no one else was.

But I was pretty happy that it wasn’t just him and a mandolin.  He had a full band and they rocked much harder than I thought they would.  Although it was pretty fascinating to hear the crowd react so powerfully to a dude with a mandolin.

But he had a full band and they harmonized really nicely.  He also seemed genuinely funny and nice.  (I’m Noah Kahan and I’m here to ruin your evening).

So before this set my daughter entered the Pavilion before me and I immediately lost her.  So I found an empty seat near the walkway and parked it next to a woman who was a MASSIVE Noah fan.  She had a wheelchair like seat but she stood for most of his songs.

I found him fun enough, but again, puzzled at the love for folkie sing alongs.  And people will probably hate me for this but I think his voice sounds a lot like Dave Mathews.

After about 20 minutes, my daughter found me.  She had been sitting in the section behind me about 12 rows up.  She had a good view, and didn’t want to sit where I was.  So we hoofed it up there.

Shortly after, Noah played Homesick and there was a long outro which is when Noah went over to the small B stage right behind where we were now sitting.  But he walked literally right past where I had been sitting before.  Crazy bad timing.  He also walked back that way after his two acoustic songs.

Back at the Main Stage he finished the set and then came out for an encore.  Overall it was a fine set.  I didn’t know any of his stuff and it all sounded vaguely similar to me.  But I am clearly not his target audience.  And, even more clearly, everyone else really loved it.
