About This Event

Ben Folds will bring his Paper Airplane Request Tour to Bristol Beacon on 17 November 2026. This interactive concert allows the audience to influence the setlist by sending song requests on paper airplanes, creating a unique and spontaneous musical experience.

Ben Folds brings his much-loved Paper Airplane Request Tour to Bristol Beacon — a one-of-a-kind concert where the audience helps shape the setlist.

In the first half, Folds performs a curated selection of favourites; after the interval, the night takes flight as fans send their song requests soaring to the stage on paper airplanes.

Bring your own pre-made plane or craft one at the merch stand before the show – pens and paper will be provided. It’s an intimate, spontaneous and joyfully unpredictable evening celebrating the deep connection between Folds and his fans.
