Benson Boone is gearing up to embark on his most significant tour yet, and he can’t contain his excitement about the songs he’s eager to perform. The talented singer-songwriter is set to kick off his American Heart Tour on August 22 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Boone opened up about his tour preparations, his collaboration with Google Maps, and the highlights of his eventful year.
Reflecting on the upcoming tour, Boone expressed how different and monumental it feels compared to his past experiences. At just 23 years old, he shared, “This tour is vastly different than anything I have ever done before. It’s so much bigger and it feels like a humongous step from the last tour.” Boone highlighted the significance of the meticulous rehearsals and the elaborate stage setup for this tour, indicating a new level of professionalism and creativity.
The American Heart Tour is in support of Boone’s latest album of the same title, which was released on June 20 and quickly soared to No. 2 in both the U.S. and Canada. Collaborating with Jack LaFrantz, Boone crafted an album filled with fun and upbeat tracks meant to be performed live. He expressed how some of his earlier music was challenging to perform repeatedly due to the high energy required, but this album was crafted with live performances in mind.
When asked about the songs he’s most excited to share with his fans, Boone mentioned “Wanted Man” and “Reminds Me of You.” These tracks hold special significance for him, and he can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to them during the tour. In a unique twist, Boone has partnered with Google Maps to enhance the fan experience during the tour. Fans can now drive like Boone with a limited edition driving avatar and explore his curated list of adventurous spots in tour cities.
Boone expressed his eagerness to connect with fans and provide insights into his interests and favourite places through this collaboration. He mentioned, “I’m a simple guy,” emphasizing his desire to share a piece of his world with his supporters. Between tour stops, Boone plans to unwind by catching up on sleep and engaging in fun activities like Spikeball, frisbee, or rollerblading with friends.
Looking back on his eventful year, Boone highlighted three unforgettable moments, including his performance at the Grammys, a surprise appearance at Coachella alongside Queen’s Brian May, and the creation of his “Mr. Electric Blue” music video. These milestones have marked a transformative year for Boone, filled with growth, new connections, and incredible experiences.
As the tour dates draw closer, Boone remains focused on delivering unforgettable performances and connecting with his fans in a meaningful way. His dedication to his craft and his commitment to creating memorable experiences for his audience are evident in every aspect of his preparation for the American Heart Tour.
