Feeling lucky, Busyheads? Tickets for Noah Kahan’s Vermont show available by lottery only

Noah Kahan, whose Vermont-inspired 2022 album “Stick Season” shot him to stardom, will play a home-state show in September to benefit his mental-health charity.

Kahan will perform Thursday, Sept. 19, on the midway lawn at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. Tickets for the show at the 5,000-capacity venue are by lottery only; fans have until 11:59 p.m. ET Sunday, June 16, to request two tickets per person, according to Higher Ground, the South Burlington music venue and promoter that’s presenting the concert.

“Requesting tickets does not guarantee the option to purchase,” according to a June 11 news release from Higher Ground. “Requesters will be notified by email whether or not they have been selected on Thursday, June 20th. If selected, fans will automatically be charged and purchase tickets.”

Prices range from $89 to $449 plus fees. The $449 tickets are premium VIP admission. Tickets are free for ages 2 and under.

Proceeds from the show will benefit The Busyhead Project, a nonprofit mental-health foundation founded by Kahan, and related Vermont charities. The organization is named for Kahan’s 2019 debut album; “Busyhead” has also come to be the name for the Strafford-raised singer-songwriter’s ardent fans.

“Stick Season” the album reached number two on the Billboard charts and the song of the same name hit the top spot. A Grammy Award nominee this year for Best New Artist, Kahan played two concerts that sold out almost instantly last summer at 4,500-capacity Waterfront Park in Burlington.
