Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan recently unveiled the visual accompaniment for his popular track “Orbiter,” an exclusive release on the streaming giant Spotify. This debut adds another milestone to an already remarkable year for the artist.
On September 10, 2026, music enthusiasts witnessed the exclusive premiere of Noah Kahan’s “Orbiter” music video on Spotify. This visual masterpiece was meticulously crafted from footage captured during various stadium performances on Kahan’s completely sold-out North American “The Great Divide Tour.” The video aims to encapsulate the essence and excitement of his live concerts, spotlighting a particularly poignant moment where Kahan, armed with only his acoustic guitar, initiates the song at the heart of each venue before his full band joins in, creating a powerful and intimate spectacle.
For a limited 48-hour window, the “Orbiter” video is exclusively available on Spotify. Premium subscribers in designated beta markets can easily access the video across multiple devices—be it their television, desktop computer, or mobile phone. By simply selecting the song and opting to “switch to video,” fans can immerse themselves in Kahan’s compelling performance.
This release arrives amidst a period of unprecedented success for the 29-year-old artist. Just last month, Kahan achieved his first career No. 1 on the prestigious Billboard 200 chart. His album, “The Great Divide,” launched earlier this year, marked the third-highest-selling album debut of 2026. This critically acclaimed project serves as the successor to his groundbreaking work, “Stick Season,” which transformed the Vermont native from a club-level act into a celebrated stadium headliner. The announcement of “The Great Divide” came in late January, with the music video for its lead single, the titular track, premiering during a commercial break at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
Adding to the excitement, Kahan surprised fans with an extended edition of the album, “The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs,” less than 24 hours after the initial 17-track release. This expanded version includes four additional songs: “Lighthouse,” “Staying Still,” “A Few of Our Own,” and “Orbiter,” bringing the album’s total to 21 tracks. During his sold-out concert at Pasadena’s iconic Rose Bowl stadium last month, Kahan delighted his largest audience to date by bringing out fellow artist Chappell Roan to perform her song “California.”
Noah Kahan's journey from club performer to stadium sensation is a testament to his evolving artistry and the profound connection he shares with his audience. The strategic exclusive release of the “Orbiter” music video on Spotify not only highlights his innovative approach to engaging fans but also underscores the platform's growing role in shaping how artists deliver content. This partnership reinforces the power of digital platforms in amplifying musical experiences and solidifying an artist’s presence in the global music scene. His continuous stream of new music and captivating live performances signals a promising future for Kahan, solidifying his status as a significant voice in contemporary music.
