The musician celebrated turning 29 years old on New Year's Day

Noah Kahan rang in the new year by turning 29. The musician shared a thoughtful Instagram post reflecting on his year of “change and adaptation,” noting that he hopes “29 teaches me even half as much.”

“28 was change and adaptation and understanding and growing and trying to go backwards and forwards at once and coming to terms with and accepting and being filled with gratitude and wondering why this happened to me and feeling left out of something important and trying to find the bottom of a never ending landfill and making the little guy proud and taking it all in and never turning my head away from the windshield even when I was terrified of the road in front of me and god I hope 29 teaches me even half as much,” Kahan wrote alongside a photo of himself drinking champagne.

He later shared an Instagram story adding, “Grateful beyond belief for all of you.”

Kahan released his breakthrough third album, Stick Season, in 2022. He later shared collaborations with Post Malone, Gracie Abrams, Kacey Musgraves, and Sam Fender, revisiting several tracks from the LP. In 2024, he shared its final iteration, Stick Season (Forever), as well as a live album, Live From Fenway Park.

The musician spent 2025 touring, including performances at Glastonbury and BottleRock. He is set to headline Bonnaroo in June alongside the Strokes and Skrillex.
