Pop sensation Benson Boone, fresh off the release of his second studio album American Heart in June, lands at Chicago’s United Center this Saturday, August 23, 2025, at 8:00 PM (Doors open at 7:00 PM) as part of his American Heart World Tour. The tour, set to launch just one day earlier at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, marking Boone’s first all‑arena run across North America and Europe, set to wrap up in Stockholm in mid‑November.
Boone’s sophomore LP, American Heart, dropped June 20 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album features singles like “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” the retro‑tinged “Mystical Magical,” and the soaring “Mr Electric Blue,” all showcasing his theatrical pop‑rock flair and vocal prowess.
Getting There: Benson Boone Style
In a playful nod to fans on the move, Google has rolled out a Benson Boone–themed navigation experience in Maps ahead of the tour. From August 14 onward, fans in the U.S. can swap their standard navigation arrow for Boone’s Mustang, tap the arrow during route navigation, and voilà, Mr. Boone is your co‑pilot.
On desktop Street View, the famous Google Pegman transforms into Boone himself, dressed in his signature jumpsuit performing a backflip—whenever you explore the locations of tour venues like the United Center.
What to Expect at United Center
As Benson Boone brings the American Heart tour to one of Chicago’s most iconic venues, fans can expect a high-energy arena performance that leans into his vibrant pop‑rock aesthetic and signature theatrics, from backflips to soaring vocals.
The evening promises a journey through his new album’s eclectic tracks, including “Mystical Magical” with its Seventies‑vibe and “Mr Electric Blue” that taps into classic rock and Americana roots. And of course, the show will likely feature “Beautiful Things,” the hit that cemented his breakout success.
