(NEWARK, NJ) -- Benson Boone brings his 2026 U.S. Wanted Man Tour to the Prudential Center in Newark on Monday, July 13, 2026 at 8:00pm. Last year, Boone received his first GRAMMY® nomination for Best New Artist at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards, where Boone delivered a show-stopping performance of his breakthrough smash "Beautiful Things."

The tour announcement follows a busy few months for Boone, who recently wrapped up his sold-out global American Heart Tour. He also appeared in an Instacart Super Bowl commercial with Ben Stiller and headlined a set at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco as part of the Super Bowl LX concert series. He is ready to keep this momentum going with this next U.S. run.

Last April, he took over the Coachella main stage, bringing out Brian May of Queen for an electrifying, viral rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The two reunited during the European leg of Boone’s American Heart Tour, performing together at the London and Birmingham stops.

In May 2025, Boone made his Saturday Night Live debut performing both “Mystical Magical” and “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else.” Both songs appear on his highly anticipated second studio album American Heart, which was released in June 2025 and debuted in the Top 10 in ten countries, including #2 in the U.S. and Canada and #1 in Australia and New Zealand. During its release week, Boone held three songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “Mystical Magical”  (surpassing half a billion streams, reached top 5 at both Top 40 and Hot AC radio and soundtracked Target’s 2025 Holiday Campaign), “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” (over half a billion streams, reached #1 at Hot AC radio and #2 at Top 40 radio), and 2024’s breakout smash “Beautiful Things.”

Tickets are available for purchase online. Prudential Center is located at 25 Lafayette Street in Newark, New Jersey.

“Beautiful Things” catapulted Boone into superstar status; it was the #1 most streamed song in the world in 2024. The 8x platinum, chart-conquering track was featured on his platinum-certified debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades. The viral smash logged an impressive 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, hit #1 at Top 40, Hot AC, and AC radio, and vaulted to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also earned Boone two Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, an iHeartRadio Music Award, the BMI Champion Award, and multiple global accolades.
