Unconventional. Playful. Paper planes at the ready.
American artist Ben Folds’ presents his ‘Paper Airplane Request Tour.’ A unique concert where you’re invited to request your favourite Ben Folds song by writing it on a piece of paper, folding it into a paper aeroplane, then launching it toward the stage.
It’s a concert of two halves, separated by a short interval. In the first, Folds will perform a standard setlist. In the second, he’ll perform songs requested via paper aeroplanes launched onto the stage.
You can bring your pre-made paper planes to the show. Or use paper and pens from the merch table to make your own on site. Get thinking which Ben Folds song you want to hear him play live…
