Ben Folds has announced a new stretch of 2025 US tour dates taking place in late summer and fall.
The new shows follow Folds’ previously-announced tour dates this spring and will find him playing both solo (billed as “Ben Folds & a Piano”) and with several regional orchestras and symphonies. He kicks off his 2025 trek this month in Costa Mesa, and will continue through the US until July 27th; along the way, he’ll reprise his “Paper Airplane Request” show style in Wasau, Wisconsin.
Folds will begin his new stretch of tour dates in Menlo Park, California on August 7th. He’ll then play shows in cities like Sacramento, Las Vegas, Iowa City, Denver, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, and more.
For the newly announced concerts, tickets for select dates will go on sale beginning Friday, April 18th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Head over to Folds’ official website for more details regarding on-sale dates.
