Boston’s Fenway neighborhood is buzzing with the last of the bugs swarming for the Vermont singer-songwriter’s “The Great Divide” Tour.

Sad bug summer has landed in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood via Noah Kahan’s historic four-show run at the beloved ballpark this week.

“Paul revere tonight queen?” Kahan teased Tuesday via X.

Despite already performing two sold-out shows at the “Cathedral of Boston” in 2024, the Vermont-grown singer-songwriter still seemingly feels immense gratitude and excitement to play such a venue again, writing “I’m playing Fenway f—ing park” on X.

“Greatest city on earth / greatest venue on earth / Greatest fan on earth / Fenway park I’m here for 4 nights and then remembering it forever / let’s do this,” Kahan shared via Instagram story Tuesday morning.

So, whether you scored tickets to any of the sold-out nights at Fenway Park — Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday — or you just want to be part of the buzz, there’s plenty for Kahan fans to enjoy throughout Boston this week.

Think: A yoga class, a themed cannoli, and plenty of giveaways.

Be sure to check back to Boston.com for a full review and setlist, clips from the shows, and more concert content this week.

Attending a show? Here’s what to know.

First things first, it’s concerning that Kahan even has to ask this, but please use the designated bathrooms at Fenway. If you have to go, please go (to the restroom). Enough said.

Expected set times

5 p.m. Gates open
6:10 p.m. Annabelle Dinda
6:50 p.m. Gigi Perez
8 p.m. Noah Kahan

Fenway fireworks

Kahan’s Fenway run is definitely “gonna go far” — in the sky, that is. Each night will include fireworks, weather permitting, the Boston Fire Department confirmed.
