Benson Boone: Wanted Man Tour

Benson Boone backflips into Barclays on the Wanted Man Tour — 'Beautiful Things' at full arena scale from pop's most acrobatic showman.

PopArena show

Boone jumped from viral clips to one of the most-streamed songs in the world, and his live show leans into the spectacle — grand piano, sequined jumpsuits and the trademark backflips that made his festival sets meme-famous. The voice holds up in an arena, which is the part that surprises people. For the under-25 pop crowd this is the night's hottest ticket outside Yankee Stadium.

What to expect

A high-energy arena pop set mixing belted ballads with gymnastics, plus a young crowd that sings every word of 'Beautiful Things' and 'Slow It Down.' The bowl fills early and phone lights come out often.

Good to know

  • Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr station sits under the arena — 2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R plus the LIRR
  • Barclays allows small bags only; lockers are limited
  • The upper bowl still has strong sightlines — this production plays to the whole room
  • Expect a heavy teen/young-adult crowd with parents in tow
  • Restaurants around Flatbush and Fifth Avenue fill up pre-show; eat early

Common questions

Does Benson Boone really do backflips during the show?

Yes — the backflips off the piano are a signature of his live set and show up multiple times a night.

What time should I arrive at Barclays Center?

Doors typically open about 90 minutes before showtime; arriving 45–60 minutes ahead clears security comfortably.
