The songs, the shows,
and all the flips in between.
Out now · June 25, 2026
Benson’s first new song of 2026 is here. It starts quietly, then keeps building around the feeling of moving forward without the person you expected beside you. Alix Earle co-stars with Benson in the official music video, where they play out a larger-than-life love story.

01 / The story
I started this page to keep Benson’s music, shows, setlists and favorite live moments together in one place—from his early days in Monroe to the tours happening now.
01½ / Meet Benson
Benson James Boone is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist—and a Washington kid whose voice surprised even the people who knew him best.
Born June 25, 2002
Washington, USA
The only brother among four sisters
Piano, guitar and drums
Benson grew up in the small city of Monroe, northeast of Seattle, in a close family with four sisters. Music filled the family kitchen—Elvis Presley and Stevie Wonder were favorites—and he learned piano by listening after his sisters finished their lessons. Away from music, he drew, painted and became a competitive diver at Monroe High School.
Singing was not a lifelong plan. As a teenager, Benson joined friends for his high school’s Battle of the Bands. He expected to play piano, but stepped in when the singer dropped out. The band won, and his friends and family discovered—alongside Benson—that he had an extraordinary voice.
After sharing singing videos online, he auditioned for American Idol in 2021 at age 18. Katy Perry predicted he could win, but Benson withdrew before the Top 24 broadcasts. He wanted time to understand the artist he hoped to become instead of being defined by a television competition.
Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds discovered Benson online, mentored him and signed him to Night Street Records in partnership with Warner Records. Learning to write songs made music feel like his future. “GHOST TOWN” arrived in 2021; “In the Stars” followed, and 2024’s “Beautiful Things” turned that fast-growing career into a worldwide breakthrough.

I pulled together the setlist.fm totals so it is easy to see which songs Benson plays most often—and which covers have only appeared once or twice.

Show archive / Setlists
Used across the Wanted Man Tour · both Los Angeles nights followed this running order
View L.A. night 1 source on setlist.fm ↗Pittsburgh was the outlier: Benson performed “What Do You Want” after “The Time of My Life.” It is the only Wanted Man Tour performance currently reported with that song. The night also introduced the unreleased piano song fans and setlist editors are calling “Love You Again,” though that title is not confirmed as an official release title.
Pittsburgh source ↗Production notes: “Wanted Man” video intro before song 1; “Wanted Man” video interlude before the front-stage section.
The main list shows the reported post-Pittsburgh running order. Pittsburgh is preserved separately because opening night included “What Do You Want.” Future swaps, covers, skipped songs, and surprises will be marked as variations. Setlists and unreleased-song titles are fan-reported and may be corrected later.
Status checked September 23, 2026 against official venue listings, setlist.fm, published event reports, and fan clips. The September 19 iHeartRadio Music Festival performance is now in the archive with its reported six-song running order; setlist.fm currently leaves the second song unidentified. Benson’s next show is the Wanted Man Tour date at KINTEX Hall 10 in Goyang, near Seoul, South Korea, on Monday, October 26.
