Benson Boone will be hitting the road for his infamous acrobatics and a side of music.

From the Grammys to the latest episode of SNL alongside Quinta Brunson, Benson Boone has been appearing everywhere. Notably, he's performed his renowned backflip almost every time, much to the amusement of fans as well.

In more recent news, he announced that his American Heart tour is forthcoming. The show will kick off this August in Saint Paul, MN, and will see him traverse across the nation before wrapping things up in Salt Lake City, Utah, this October.

Droves are flocking to X to react, such as this one user who penned:

"can't wait to be there!! love his outfits and the moustache"

It's not all sunshine and daisies in the comments section, however. Here's how the rest of the microblogging platform is reacting:

"This guy has to be an industry plant right? He came out of nowhere," someone speculated.
"so tired of artists skipping cincinnati sksks," another shared.
"why he lowkey came out of nowhere," one more echoed.
"does bro even have enough good songs to be doing all this?" a naysayer probed.

The comments didn't end there:

"Does he have enough songs for a tour? Feels forced idk," someone pointed out.
"Love me some Benson Boone!" one fan shared.
"Him doing backflips 97% of the time as if anyone is impressed by a backflip," another shared.
"He’s really trying to brand himself as the next Freddie Mercury," yet another chimed in.

While a number of users were thrilled to learn of Benson Boone's forthcoming tour, a large number of them seemingly remain convinced it's too early in his career for him to be doing this.


Everything we know about Benson Boone's forthcoming tour and album:

The Grammy-nominated pop artist announced the American Heart Tour on May 5, weeks ahead of his album of the same name, which drops this June 20. It serves as the follow-up to his 2014 LP, Fireworks & Rollerblades. Boone's upcoming tour will see him make pit stops across North America, including New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto.

Billboard has reported that American Express cardholders can avail themselves of access to an Amex pre-sale on May 7 at 10 a.m. local time, though the following day, the pre-sale kicks off at the same time. The general on-sale will commence on Friday, May 9, at 10 a.m. local time.

Benson Boone also recently dropped his second single from his American Heart album, Mystical Magical. It follows the release of Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else in February. He debuted the new song during his set at Coachella, where he also went viral for covering Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody alongside the band's original member Brian May.
