Benson Boone announces San Francisco tour stop after viral BottleRock moment with Steph Curry
Pop star Benson Boone, fresh off a standout performance at BottleRock Napa Valley that had Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry singing along, announced he's bringing his American Heart arena tour to the team's home court this fall. The San Francisco stop at Chase Center is set for Oct. 1 and will be part of Boone's sweeping North American tour supporting his upcoming album 'American Heart,' due out June 20. The tour is scheduled to kick off in Saint Paul, Minn., on Aug. 22, and includes marquee stops at Madison Square Garden in New York, Arena in Los Angeles and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, before wrapping in Salt Lake City on Oct. 8. At BottleRock over the weekend — which included headlining sets by Green Day, Justin Timberlake and Noah Kahan — Boone drew one of the festival's largest crowds with a high-energy set that included his viral hit 'Beautiful Things.' Curry, standing near the stage with his wife Ayesha, filmed himself singing along and shared the moment on social media. The NBA star, who was sidelined for much of the Warriors' playoff run after a hamstring injury in Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, appeared fully in off-season mode. A veteran BottleRock festivalgoer, he was back representing his bourbon brand, Gentlemen's Cut, which debuted at the event in 2023. Boone, 22, leaned into the spotlight in Freddie Mercury-inspired fashion: mustache, white tank top and acid-wash jeans. But it was his backflips that really set him apart from the other performers. Boone was the only performer at the three-day Memorial Day weekend concert to go airborne onstage. In addition to Curry, fellow Bay Area sports stars George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk of the San Francisco 49ers were spotted at Boone's set, joined by their wives, Claire and Kristin. Backstage, Boone spent time with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, while celebrities including Leslie Mann, Judd Apatow, 'Righteous Gem Stones' star Adam DeVine, 'Survivor' host Jeff Probst, tennis legend Serena Williams and Governor Gavin Newsom with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom were seen enjoying the festival. 📸 Benson Boone e Dave Grohl, vocalista do Foo Fighters, via Instagram stories (_chrispotter). — Benson Boone Brasil (@BensonBooneBRA) May 25, 2025 Tickets for Boone's Chase Center show go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, May 30. Presales begin earlier in the week through American Express and the artist's fan club. 'Beautiful Things,' now streamed more than 2 billion times on Spotify, earned Boone a Grammy nomination and the 2024 IFPI Global Single Award. He recently performed on 'Saturday Night Live' and made headlines at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival with a surprise appearance by Queen's Brian May.

Benson Boone Rockets Up iTunes Following His Losing Night At The AMAs
Benson Boone didn't take home any trophies at the 2025 American Music Awards, despite earning several nominations in some of the biggest categories. While he might not have snagged some hardware, he has emerged as one of the event's standout success stories in the day following the showing — at least in one respect. The pop singer sees multiple titles soar on iTunes following the program. Boone was in attendance and performed his current focus track 'Mystical Magical' on the main stage, and that appearance has paid off. Boone is now just one spot away from ruling the iTunes Top Songs chart in the U.S. His single "Mystical Magical" jumped to the runner-up position the day after the event. At the moment, it's blocked only my 'Ordinary' by Alex Warren – which was also showcased during the televised event – from hitting No. 1 Boone currently occupies two slots inside the top 10 on the list of the top-selling tracks on iTunes. His breakout smash "Beautiful Things," which has been selling well for more than a year now, lifts three spaces to No. 6. Although he didn't perform the tune during the ceremony, it was featured in host Jennifer Lopez's opening medley, alongside more than a dozen other tracks. Two other singles from Boone's upcoming album American Heart are also performing incredibly well on iTunes in the U.S. The third and most recent track shared from the project, "Momma Song," is present at No. 11 at the time of writing. Meanwhile, "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else," which introduced his forthcoming second full-length, bolts several spaces and currently sits at No. 25. Boone has only released one project so far, and it's a bestseller once again on the iTunes Top Albums list following his major moment at the American Music Awards. Fireworks & Rollerblades returns to the top 10 and becomes a strong performer once more. At present, it appears at No. 9, lifting more than 10 spaces from where it sat just a short time ago, before fans began buying it in droves once more.

Benson Boone Backflips Over ‘Mystical Magical' at the 2025 American Music Awards
Benson Boone took over the stage at the 2025 American Music Awards on Monday night (May 26) to perform his new single 'Mystical Magical.' Wearing a patchwork purple suit glittering with rhinestones, the mustachioed musician kicked off his number by crooning, 'There's nothing colder than your shoulder/ When you're dragging me along like you do, like you do/ And then you switch up with no warnin'/ And you kiss me like you want it/ How rude, how rude.' More from Billboard Here Are the 2025 American Music Awards Winners (Updating Live) Shakira Falls Onstage During 'Whenever, Wherever' Performance at Montreal Concert Billy Joel's Daughter Alexa Ray Joel Offers Encouraging Words About Dad's Health Diagnosis As the song ramped up, Boone performed one of his signature backflips on stage, upping the ante this time by impressively clearing an entire staircase of eight steps on the stage of the Fountainebleu Las Vegas. The gravity-defying move also happened to land him right in the front row, where he flirted with Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum as he sang, 'I know you'll come around to me eventually/ If you sit back, relax and join my company/ Oh, baby, trust me.' The coy moment amusingly continued the singer's recent history of awards show bits with the pair, who helped with the mid-performance reveal of his viral blue jumpsuit at the 2025 Grammys back in February. 'Mystical Magical' serves as the second single off Boone's upcoming sophomore album, American Heart, which will drop June 20 via Night Street and Warner Records. The LP also contains lead single 'Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else' and the newly released 'Momma Song.' During the telecast, Boone was up for his very first American Music Award for new artist of the year — a trophy that ultimately went to fellow pop sensation Gracie Abrams in a crowded field that also included Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tommy Richman. The American Music Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.
