TAMPA, FL – Due to the tremendous success of his current and groundbreaking solo acoustic tour, trailblazer John Mayer has set a new leg for fall 2023 and will play at Tampa’s AMALIE Arena on Friday, October 13 at 8:00 p.m.
The highly acclaimed tour, produced by Live Nation, features solo performances by Mayer, leaning heavily on his acoustic guitar work with special performances on piano and electric guitar, in arenas throughout the United States with U.K. and European dates to be announced soon.
Known for an effortless blend of mind-blowing guitar playing, soulful voice and impeccable songwriting abilities, Mayer has lit up the charts with numerous massive hits such as “New Light,” “Gravity,” “Love on the Weekend,” “Heartbreak Warfare,” “Daughters,” “Waiting on the World to Change,” “Last Train Home” and “Your Body Is a Wonderland.” The 2023 tour has been 20 years in the making and will feature rare, full acoustic sets from Mayer performing these songs and many more. Multi-platinum GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter JP Saxe will open the fall concerts.
Presales start Wednesday, March 29, at 9:00 a.m. and run through Thursday, March 30, at 10:00 p.m. Fans can sign up now to receive a unique code to access presale tickets via seated at johnmayer.com.
A limited number of VIP packages will be available including premium tickets, exclusive merchandise and more.
Two pairs of front-row tickets will be auctioned off for each show on the tour through charityauctionstoday.com. All proceeds from the ticket auctions will go to the Back To You Fund, which has supported many charities including Mayer’s Heart and Armor Foundation, as well as programs supporting at-risk youth and the homeless.
The spring tour launched on Saturday, March 11 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey to rave reviews:
“The results were nothing less than breathtaking, two hours of raw, peerless wonder.”
-Asbury Park Press
“…this night was a well-deserved reward. The room felt small, like a rehearsal space, like a private showcase only intended for friends and family.”
-NJ.com
“But what is very clear is Mayer's ability to make an arena feel intimate with his song catalogue and gifts as a musician.”
-Music Radar
“(John Mayer) has never been more sentimental or more vulnerable,
and he’s never felt so personal on stage.”
-Live for Live Music
