Ben Folds Adds 2025 US Tour Dates

Ben Folds has added a new stretch of 2025 US tour dates taking place in late summer and fall.

The new shows follow Folds’ previously-announced tour dates 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 continue through cities like Sacramento, Las Vegas, Jackson (Wyoming), and more; Folds will then pick back up on September 5th with a Louisville concert alongside the Louisville Orchestra.

He’ll continue through the fall in Iowa City, Denver, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and more. The tour concludes on December 4th in Seattle. See the full list of Ben Folds’ 2025 tour dates below, including the newly-announced shows, solo concerts, and orchestral dates.

Folds’ last album was 2023’s What Matters Most. His 2025 began with him resigning as an artist advisor to the Kennedy Center’s National Symphony Orchestra following Donald Trump’s decision to install himself as chairman: “Not for me,” Folds said.
