Noah Kahan’s 2026 OVO Hydro Arena Show in Glasgow, Scotland: Everything You Need To Know

Noah Kahan kicks off the UK and Europe leg of his sold out 2026 The Great Divide Tour, in Scotland this Thursday, November 5th and Friday 6th at Glasgow's OVO Hydro Arena. Hot on the heels of releasing The Great Divide: The Last Of The Bugs, the ‘Stick Season’ hitmaker has been treating us to an enchanting mix of brand new tracks and earlier fan-favourites throughout his tour so far.

Bella Kay is opening for the UK and Ireland part of Kahan's tour. Her viral songs, 'The Sick' and 'iloveitiloveitiloveit' mirror the vulnerability Kahan is so well known for. We're hoping there's space for a duet somewhere in the setlist.

Judging by Kahan's 2026 shows so far, We're fairly confident that fan-favourites like ‘Stick Season‘, ‘Northern Attitude’, ‘Orange Juice’, ‘She Calls Me Back‘, ‘Dial Drunk’, ‘False Confidence’ and ‘All My Love’ will hold their place in his setlist.

At his opening show in Orlando, Florida, some fans complained about the absence of songs like ‘Staying Still‘, with Kahan promptly rectifying this and adding it into his set.

We're also expecting an array of stand-outs from Kahan's The Great Divide era to keep their place, too, such as the title-track, alongside ‘Porch Light’, ‘Deny Deny Deny’, ‘Dan’, ‘End of August’, ‘Haircut’, ‘Downfall’ and, of course, the hugely viral ‘Orbiter’.

Kahan has just released his track, 'Draw You Out', for the upcoming film, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. We're wondering if that will get a sneaky spot in the playlist now.

The merch for Kahan's 2026 The Great Divide Tour looks brilliant, with a range of hoodies, tees, caps and more on offer. There will be merchandise available to purchase in the venue. Look out for early merch during the day around the venue. Queues have been long, even during the days, so give yourself plenty of time to pick up some memorable items.

Kahan always puts on a brilliant show, with the ‘Northern Attitude’ singer-songwriter striking a uniquely compelling balance between playful wit and sobering vulnerability.

Given how electrifying his Stick Season: We'll All Be Here Forever tours have been over the past few years, and with the addition of much more electric guitar across The Great Divide: The Last Of The Bugs, Kahan's 2026 sets have been even bigger.

There's also a new set design which has been drawing plaudits from attendees, with Kahan moving between a plethora of stages to ensure that virtually all fans throughout the venue get a great viewpoint at some point during the electrifying show.

Fans are encouraged to plan ahead for travel and allow plenty of time to get to the event and pass through security.
