Noah Kahan Brings The Great Divide Tour to Citi Field — Bring a Rain Jacket
Noah Kahan rolls into Citi Field in Queens on Saturday, July 18 at 6:30 PM ET, and the National Weather Service says fans should plan for a wet one. This is an outdoor show, so the forecast is basically part of the setlist.
The Forecast
The NWS is calling for rain showers through the day, with a high near 81°F that actually falls to around 75°F in the afternoon as the rain moves in. There’s an 80% chance of precipitation, and showers are expected to transition into showers and thunderstorms later — which lines up right around when Kahan takes the stage. Winds will be light out of the south at 6 to 14 mph, and the NWS is forecasting a quarter to half inch of rain. Skies will be mostly cloudy all day.
Translation: this isn’t a quick passing shower. Come dressed for steady rain and a cooling evening, not a sunny outdoor concert.
What to Wear
Skip the umbrella-in-a-crowd situation — a packable rain jacket is the move here. It keeps your hands free for singing along to “Stick Season” and folds down small enough to stuff in a bag when the rain lets up. Layer underneath, since that afternoon temperature drop to 75°F combined with rain will make the evening feel cooler than the daytime high suggests. If you’d rather stay covered without a hood, a compact travel umbrella is a reasonable backup for the walk in, though it’ll be less practical once you’re packed into the crowd.
Rep the Tour
No forecast stops the Fans singing every word back. Rep your fandom with a Noah Kahan t-shirt or a Noah Kahan hoodie — the hoodie especially earns its keep once temps ease down toward 75°F after the rain sets in. Top it off with a Noah Kahan hat, which doubles as rain protection for your head, and grab a Noah Kahan poster to remember the night.
Concert Essentials
A few things make any outdoor show smoother, rain or shine:
- Concert ear plugs high fidelity — protect your hearing without losing the sound quality
- Portable phone charger — you’ll want battery left for photos and getting a rideshare home
- Clear stadium bag — a smart bag choice for venues like Citi Field, and it’ll keep the rain off whatever’s inside
- Fanny pack crossbody — keeps your phone and wallet secure and easy to reach without digging through a bag in the rain
Getting There
Give yourself extra time getting to Citi Field — rain tends to slow both traffic and foot traffic into the venue, and nobody wants to miss the opener scrambling through a downpour. Check what you can bring in ahead of time, since bag policies vary by venue.
Bottom Line
With showers, potential thunderstorms, and temps sliding from 81°F down to 75°F, the packable rain jacket is your MVP purchase for this one. Dress in breathable layers underneath, keep your gear dry in a clear stadium bag, and get ready to sing “Stick Season” in the rain — it’s honestly on brand.
