This latest tour announcement comes after multiple postponements from the band. Earlier this year, they were forced to cancel their destination festival, Playing In The Sand, less than 24 hours before gates were set to open. The news of the destination show cancellation came at the heels of John Mayer testing positive for COVID, and pulling out of the event.

Meanwhile, Mayer announced last month that he was leaving Columbia Records after 21 years, adding that he’s looking forward to exploring “new avenues of making music”. The singer-songwriter took to Instagram on March 4 to share the news with his fans.
“After 21 years, eight studio albums, and some wonderful personal and creative relationships, I have decided not to renew my recording agreement with Columbia Records,” he began.
“Hard as it is to say goodbye, I’m excited to pursue new avenues of making music, both of [sic] my own and with other artists.”
“I love music more than ever, and I believe some of my best work still lies ahead,” he continued, before signing off: “With gratitude and enthusiasm, John.”
His final album on Columbia was last year’s ‘Sob Rock’. In a four-star review of Mayer’s eighth LP, NME‘s Will Lavin wrote: “Mayer’s willingness to poke fun at himself lends itself perfectly to the satirical foundation of ‘Sob Rock’. It is by all means a stimulating body of work with ample substance, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
