Live From Fenway Park is a live album by American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan. It includes recordings of songs performed live across two sold-out performances at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 18–19, 2024. These two dates marked the end of the Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever) Tour, having toured in Europe that winter.[2]

Background
The breakout success of Stick Season catapulted Kahan to multiple sold-out tours following its release. Much of his discography refers to places, themes, or concepts unique to residents of the Northeastern United States, and more specifically to New England.[3][4] His largest performance in Boston prior to this concert was at Boston Calling in 2023.[5]
Release
Noah Kahan teased on social media that he had "more up his sleeve" on August 19.[6] A few days later on August 21, Kahan announced the album's release date of August 30 and its album cover, with the following quote:[7]
Every day I think about playing fenway. I can’t even look at photos without crying. It is a permanent part of my soul, and im so proud to announce it will be a permanent part of my discography. Live From Fenway out 8/30. New England I love you
The tracklist from the released album combines performances from both evenings, which had slightly different setlists. "Everything, Everywhere" featuring Gracie Abrams was taken from the July 18 performance, and the "Stick Season" recordings comes from the July 19 performance with Noah Kahan's family joining him on stage. Additionally, the order of songs on the tracklist does not strictly follow the order in which they were originally performed. The album was released in both explicit and clean versions.
