Indie star Ben Folds is reprising The Paper Airplane Request Tour with a 21-date trip across the United States, and this isn’t going to be your run-of-the-music concert series. Back in 2017, Folds originally kicked off his first Paper Airplane Request Tour, during which he encouraged fans to send song requests to the stage via paper airplanes. The concept was loved by fans, so Folds is going to bring it back. At this time, it looks like Folds will be flying solo and no supporting acts will be added to the tour.

The upcoming Ben Folds 2024 Tour will start on May 30 in Charleston, South Carolina at the Charleston Music Hall. The tour will end on August 6 in Beaver Creek, Colorado at the Vilar Performing Arts Center.
In a press release for the tour, Folds talked about how the concept for the Paper Airplanes Request Tour is a major deviation from tech-driven music engagement: “The last time I did this on tour the response was overwhelming, with literally hundreds of paper airplanes with song requests being launched on cue from fans at the start of the second half of each of my concerts. It’s the purest, most low-tech form of engagement that creates a special bond with my audiences.”
Tickets will go on general sale on March 8 at 10:00 am local via Ticketmaster and Stubhub. We recommend using Stubhub since the platform is backed by the FanProtect Guarantee, which ensures that you won’t have to worry about scams, fraud, or fake tickets.
