Kane Brown released his new album The High Road in January and kicked off the accompanying tour in March, starting in San Diego and making his way through the Western US, a few Canadian stops, and the East Coast. His May 24 show marked the first of two nights at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, where a packed crowd waited eagerly for his arrival. In dramatic fashion, Kane Brown emerged at the top of an elevated staircase, silhouetted by a sea of fog, and was greeted with thunderous cheers and applause that echoed through the venue. He launched into the night with “I Am,” the opening track from The High Road.

Throughout the night, Kane Brown blended newer tracks with fan favorites, performing major hits like “What Ifs,” “Heaven,” and “One Thing Right.” The show was packed with energy, featuring bursts of fog, pyrotechnics and standout visuals. One of the most intimate moments came when Kane Brown and his band gathered at the end of the stage, illuminated softly as they played in close formation. During this quieter segment, he performed “For My Daughter,” a heartfelt tribute in which he shared his commitment to being the father he always wished he had.

Kane Brown delivered a high-energy, emotionally resonant performance that showcased his growth as both an artist and performer. It’s hard not to reflect on how far he’s come — from sharing cover songs on social media to now commanding a packed venue of devoted fans. With The High Road Tour nearing its final stretch, this stop felt like both a celebration and a milestone in his evolving career.

Before Kane Brown took the stage, the night kicked off with stellar performances from his supporting acts. Ashley Cooke opened the show, winning over the crowd with her smooth vocals and relatable songwriting. Following her, Mitchell Tenpenny brought his signature blend of country and rock, delivering a high-energy set that had the audience fully engaged.
