It’s a fine day for Ben Folds fans! The indie artist announced his Paper Airplanes Request Tour just a few weeks ago with an overwhelmingly positive response. Now, Folds has just added a whopping 38 more stops on the highly-anticipated tour this year! The Ben Folds Paper Airplane Request Tour will take the “Capable Of Anything” singer/songwriter across the United States throughout the rest of the year.

This year’s Paper Airplane Request Tour isn’t the first of its kind. Folds has launched a similar tour in the past that involved allowing audience members to send paper airplanes with song requests written on them to the stage for Folds to perform. The new rendition will have the same concept, which Folds has said is “the purest, most low-tech form of engagement that creates a special bond with my audiences.”
The first stop on the Ben Folds Paper Airplane Request Tour will be on May 30 in Charleston, South Carolina at Charleston Music Hall. The new final tour date will be on December 15 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the venue is TBA. No supporting acts have been announced for this tour.
Ticketmaster appears to be the main platform to score tickets to this tour. All of the tour dates that have been announced earlier this year are available for general sale. For the new leg of the tour, fans can get down on the presale events, which are slated to begin on May 2 at 10:00 am local.
General on-sale begins this Friday, May 3, at 10:00 am local. We recommend checking Stubhub for tickets once general on-sale starts, especially if your tour date was eaten up by the presale events.
Get your tickets now, before it’s too late!
