Charlie Puth tickets for Kia Forum in Inglewood - pop hits and the new "Whatever's Clever!" era live

Looking for tickets for Charlie Puth in Inglewood? Secure your spot at Kia Forum for a concert built around major pop hits like "Attention" and "We Don't Talk Anymore", along with songs from the new album "Whatever's Clever!". This date is a strong pick for longtime fans and broader pop audiences alike

Charlie Puth at Kia Forum: an evening between radio pop and a new, more personal chapter

Charlie Puth arrives at Kia Forum in Inglewood on April 29 with the "Whatever's Clever! World Tour", and that date comes very shortly after the release of his new album "Whatever's Clever!", released on March 27, 2026. That gives this concert additional weight: it is not just another pass through a catalog of hits, but a moment when the audience can hear how the new songs sound while they are still fresh, immediately after entering rotation and the first phase of the tour. Tickets for this event have been in demand.

For the audience that has followed Charlie Puth since "See You Again", "We Don't Talk Anymore", "Attention" and "Light Switch", the concert in Inglewood offers a familiar entry point: melodies that stay in the ear after the very first chorus, very precisely produced songs and an artist who thinks equally as a singer, songwriter and studio perfectionist. But the current phase of his career carries a different emphasis. The new album does not revolve only around infectious hooks, but also around more mature, more intimate writing, with a softer, retro-tinted pop and R&B sound that in the most recent album descriptions is also linked to his fascination with a "yacht rock" aesthetic.

In the last few years, Puth has already shown how well he knows how to combine technical polish and radio-friendliness, but "Whatever's Clever!" feels like the release on which he is trying to expand his own frame. In the new songs there is more room for warmer arrangements, softer keyboards, emphasized backing vocals and collaborations that are not there merely as decoration, but as part of a broader picture. In the Apple Music description of the album, collaborators such as Hikaru Utade, Coco Jones, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Kenny G are especially highlighted, which says enough about the range of sound that accompanies this era.That is an important context for the concert at Kia Forum as well. The tour carries the same name as the album, so it is realistic to expect an evening built around a blend of new songs and proven singles, rather than around mere nostalgia. For the audience, that means a very accessible entry: both those who want to hear what made Charlie Puth globally recognizable, and those interested in his newer, more personal phase, have a good reason to come. Ticket sales for this event are underway.

What Charlie Puth brings to the stage today

Charlie Puth belongs to that type of pop artist for whom, live, it is not only the set list that matters, but also the way he arranges it. His music already relies on detail - a rhythmic trick, harmony in the background, a short vocal transition or a piano motif that gives a song personality. That is precisely why his concerts make sense even for an audience that does not necessarily go to large arena productions, but looks for a musician whose performance has a clear authorial logic.

The best-known hits remain his strongest asset for the wider audience. "See You Again" is still a song that carries enormous emotional capital, "We Don't Talk Anymore" remains one of the biggest pop duets of its generation, "Attention" is an almost textbook example of modern pop-funk, and "Light Switch" confirms that Puth still knows how to write a song that instantly grabs attention. When more recent singles connected to the current album are added to that, the result is a repertoire that can function equally well in an arena space and in moments when the concert calms down a little and the focus shifts to voice, piano and arrangement.It is also important that this tour is taking place immediately after a major professional and personal transition. In descriptions of the new album, Charlie Puth openly speaks about the music that follows his life in a new phase, including fatherhood, so the tone of the whole project also feels less like a string of separate singles and more like a whole. That does not mean he has lost his sense for a hit, but that he has tried to place both pop instinct and a more personal perspective within the same frame. It is precisely that kind of mixture that often gives the best result on stage.

For the audience, that usually means a performance with more dynamics. One part of the evening relies on songs that the whole hall knows from the first line, and another on material that is only now being strengthened through live performances. The appeal of this concert lies in that combination: it is not a tour that lives only on old glory, but a moment when the artist is trying to show where he is going next.

Who this concert is especially appealing to


  • Longtime fans who want to hear how the new era sits alongside hits from previous albums.

  • An audience that follows contemporary pop, but also likes a softer, retro-tinted sound with an emphasis on melody.

  • Visitors who like artists with a strong authorial signature, and not only performers of singles.

  • Those looking for a major concert in the Los Angeles area, but without stadium-scale distance from the stage.

Confirmed guests and what they mean for the evening in Inglewood

On Kia Forum's own page, along with Charlie Puth, two names have also been confirmed: Daniel Seavey and Ally Sallort. That is concrete, officially stated information, and it matters because it gives the whole evening a framework. Daniel Seavey is known to the audience both as a solo artist and for work in a boy band context, so he naturally broadens the event's reach toward a younger pop layer of the audience. Ally Sallort, meanwhile, comes from an indie-pop environment and can bring a softer, more intimate introduction to the evening before the main performance.

That kind of opening-act combination fits well with the main program. It does not push the concert into a completely different genre, but remains in the broad field of contemporary pop, the singer-songwriter approach and melodic radio sound. That means the evening can be built gradually, without an abrupt stylistic break between the opening acts and the main artist. Seats are disappearing quickly.

Since no special surprise guests or specific production elements beyond the standard framework of the tour have been officially confirmed for this date, the fairest approach is to stick to what has actually been announced: Charlie Puth is performing as part of the "Whatever's Clever! World Tour", and Daniel Seavey and Ally Sallort are listed alongside him. Everything else about possible guest appearances or special segments of the performance remains speculation at this moment and is therefore not worth including.

Why Kia Forum suits this kind of artist so well

Kia Forum is not an ordinary hall on the concert map of the Los Angeles area. The venue itself today presents itself as the only arena of that size in the United States dedicated to music and entertainment, and that is precisely what matters for a concert like this. Charlie Puth is not an artist who needs massive stadium distance for his songs to feel big. His material works better in a space that can accommodate a large audience, but still retain the feeling that the details of the arrangements and vocals are not disappearing somewhere into emptiness.

The Forum's history also helps the impression. The hall opened in 1967, and after a major renovation it reopened in 2014 with an emphasis on the musical experience, including improved acoustics and one of the largest general admission floors in the country. That is not an unimportant detail. When a venue invests specifically in acoustics and concert function, that is especially noticeable with artists whose music does not rely only on rhythm and volume, but also on production finesse.

For Puth, that is an almost ideal framework. His songs require a place where the chorus can explode, but also where a calmer transition or a piano passage will not remain without effect. Kia Forum in that sense carries a good balance between size and visibility, and its reputation in live music did not arise by accident, but precisely because the space is adapted to concerts as its main purpose.

Basic facts about the hall


  • Address: 3900 W Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA.

  • The hall first opened on December 30, 1967.

  • After a major renovation, it reopened in January 2014.

  • Kia Forum states that it is the only arena-sized venue in the USA dedicated to music and entertainment.

  • The renovation especially emphasized acoustics, artist dressing rooms and a large general admission floor.



What to expect from the atmosphere in the hall

The atmosphere at a Charlie Puth concert is most often built not only on euphoria, but on recognition. It is an evening for an audience that knows the choruses in advance, but also for those who like to listen to how a songwriter leads a song from within, almost as if he is adding one more layer of arrangement in front of the audience. With him, even the most direct pop songs are musically "alive" enough not to feel like the mere reproduction of a studio recording.

That is precisely why Kia Forum can be an especially good host for this stop on the tour. It is not an intimate club, but neither is it a space where the artist becomes a dot on the horizon. If you are looking for a concert where you can get the full arena effect without losing the sense of closeness to the voice and the band, this is a very good format. It is worth securing tickets in time.This date in Inglewood is additionally interesting because it falls at the very beginning of the North American leg of the tour. That means it is an early phase when the energy of the new era is still very fresh, and the audience is still discovering how the album breathes live. For fans who like catching an artist at the start of a tour, before everything turns into routine, that can be an important plus.

Practical information for arrival

Kia Forum states on its website that parking is available on site, and entry to the parking lots is possible via Prairie Ave. or Kareem Ct. The hall expressly recommends carpooling, ride-share and public transportation, and drop-off is permitted at all entrances. On the site itself there is also a specially designated ride-share zone in lot H, at the intersection of Pincay Dr. and Prairie Ave., which can be useful for anyone who does not want to drive through traffic after the concert.

For arrival by public transportation, LA Metro recommends bus lines 115 to the Prairie/Manchester stop and 211 or 212 to Prairie/Kelso. Walking from those stops to the hall is very short - about one minute from Prairie/Manchester and about three minutes from Prairie/Kelso. That is very practical information for visitors coming from the wider Los Angeles area and wanting to avoid traffic around major evening events.For those arriving by plane, Inglewood is practical precisely because Kia Forum is relatively close to LAX, so this location is also convenient for visitors planning a short musical trip without a long city transfer. The neighborhood around the hall itself is today also known for major sports and concert locations, so it is an area already accustomed to a larger influx of visitors on event nights.

What is worth keeping in mind before entering


  • Kia Forum has a clear bag policy.

  • Clear bags up to dimensions of 12 x 6 x 12 are permitted.

  • A small clutch or wristlet up to 9 x 6 does not have to be clear.

  • Diaper and medical bags are permitted subject to inspection.

  • All bags are subject to inspection.

  • Professional cameras with telephoto or zoom lenses, video cameras, monopods, tripods and audio recording devices are not permitted.

  • The venue is cashless: cards and mobile payments are accepted.



It is also worth taking into account that doors for most events at Kia Forum usually open approximately one hour before the start of the program, although the venue advises checking the event page for the specific time. If you want a calmer entry, time for a security check and possibly a drink or merch without rushing, arriving a little earlier makes sense, especially at a concert by an artist with a large fan base and multiple confirmed names on the program.

Inglewood as the concert base that evening

Inglewood has in recent years become one of the most important places for major live events in Southern California. For the visitor, in practice, that means two things. First, the neighborhood is accustomed to the concert and sports rhythm, so the entire arrival and departure system is organized around that. Second, one should expect crowds, especially if there is another large program in the area on the same day. That is why it is useful to plan arrival with a little reserve, even if the hall is not far from your accommodation or from LAX.

For travelers staying only one evening, the advantage of Inglewood is functionality: the venue is easy to locate, the traffic logic around Manchester Boulevard and Prairie Avenue is clearly indicated, and public transportation and ride-share have very specifically stated access points. This is not the kind of outing where half the time is spent figuring out how to get to the entrance.

Why this date carries weight within the tour

The April 29 concert comes only a little more than a month after the release of the album "Whatever's Clever!" and very early within the tour that began on April 22. That gives this performance the character of a fresh, not yet fully "smoothed out" phase of the tour - and that is precisely what many fans appreciate. That is when it is easiest to see how the artist is testing a new balance between older favorites and material that is only now finding its full live identity.In addition, Inglewood and the wider Los Angeles area are never just a passing stop for American pop artists. It is a market where one can see how much momentum a new era truly has, how convincing the visual and musical identity of the tour is, and how the audience reacts to new songs outside the streaming context. That is why a performance at Kia Forum has greater significance than the ordinary rounding out of a schedule.

For Charlie Puth, it is an opportunity to confirm very soon after the album's release that the new phase did not remain only at the level of an idea and interviews, but can also function in front of a large audience. And for the audience, it is a good opportunity to catch him at a moment when the new material is still alive, and the old hits are still strong enough to carry the whole evening.

Culture & events desk

The editorial team for arts, music and events brings together journalists and volunteers who have spent years living alongside stages, clubs, festivals and all those spaces where art and audience meet. Our writing comes from long-standing journalistic experience and genuine involvement in cultural life: from endless evenings in concert halls, from conversations with musicians before and after performances, from improvised press corners at festivals, from premieres that end with long discussions in theatre corridors, but also from small, intimate events that attract only a handful of curious people yet remain engraved in their memory for a lifetime.

In our newsroom write people who know what a stage looks like when the lights go out, how the audience breathes while waiting for the first note, and what happens behind the curtain while instruments or microphones are still being adjusted. Many of us have spent years standing on stage ourselves, participating in programme organisation, volunteering at festivals or helping artist friends present their projects. This experience from both sides of the stage gives us the ability to view events not merely as items in a calendar, but as living encounters between creators and audiences.

Our stories do not stop at who performed and how many people attended. We are interested in the processes that precede every appearance before the public: how the idea for a concert or festival is born, what it takes for a comedy to reach its audience, how much time is spent preparing an exhibition or a multimedia project. In our texts we try to convey the atmosphere of the space, the energy of the performers and the mood of the audience, as well as the context in which all this happens – why a certain performance is important, how it fits into the broader music or art scene, and what remains after the venue empties.

The editorial team for arts, music and events builds its credibility on persistence and long-term work. Behind us are decades of writing, editing, talking with artists and observing how scenes change, how some styles come to the forefront while others retreat into the background. This experience helps us distinguish fleeting hype from events that truly push boundaries and leave a mark. When we give something space, we strive to explain why we believe it deserves attention, and when we are critical, we explain our reasons, aware of the effort behind every project.

Our task is simple and demanding at the same time: to be reliable witnesses of cultural and entertainment life, to write honestly toward the audience and honestly toward performers. We do not deal in generic praise; we aim to precisely describe what we see and hear, knowing that every text may be someone’s first encounter with a certain band, festival, comedian or artist. The editorial team for arts, music and events therefore exists as a place where all these encounters are recorded, interpreted and passed on – humanly, clearly and with respect for the very reason it exists at all: the live, real event in front of a real audience.
