ST. PAUL, Minn. – Of course it started with a flip.
And pyro. And a blanket of dry ice. And frenetic lights.
In the center of it was Benson Boone, strutting in a fitted white outfit outlined in red and blue, pointing like he meant it while digging into the energy of “I Wanna Be the One You Call.”
Boone christened his American Heart Tour with a 22-song setlist Aug. 22 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, ready to prove his pop bona fides with patented acrobatics, an arsenal of songs laced with vulnerability and glistening triceps.
Friday night’s sold-out concert was the start of a 33-date North American run – Boone’s first all-arena tour – that will land in major cities including Boston, New York, Miami, Denver, Las Vegas and Seattle before winding down with three sold-out shows in Salt Lake City in October.
