John Mayer has announced a solo acoustic arena tour set for spring 2023. The 19-date outing marks the first full solo tour for the acclaimed singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has spent the last two decades touring with a variety of different bands, from his ever-evolving solo outfit to the recently revived John Mayer Trio to Grateful Dead offshoot Dead & Company.
“I’m going on a solo arena tour,” Mayer wrote in an Instagram post. “I began my career on stage with only a guitar and a microphone. A lot has changed since then, but I knew one day I’d feel it in my heart to do an entire run of shows on my own again, just like those early days. It took a couple of decades, but I feel it now. I’ll be playing old songs. Newer songs. Songs you haven’t heard yet that I’ll be road testing – all on acoustic, electric, and piano.”
The tour, produced by Live Nation, is set to begin on Saturday, March 11th at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ and continue on to arenas in major markets around the U.S. and Canada throughout the ensuing month before wrapping up with a show at Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum on Friday, April 14th. Per a press release, “20 years in the making, this audacious trek features solo performances by Mayer, leaning heavily on his acoustic guitar work with special performances on piano and electric guitar, in arenas throughout the U.S. and Canada.”
