Jack Johnson has officially announced his 2026 Surfilmusic North American Tour, marking his first major live tour in three years. The 43-date trek, produced by Live Nation, will run from June through October and blend live music, surf-inspired films, and environmental activism. Fans can expect shows at scenic outdoor venues across the U.S. and Canada. Tickets for the tour go on presale Monday, November 10, with general sales beginning Friday, November 14. The tour aligns with Johnson’s upcoming Surfilmusic documentary and soundtrack, celebrating over two decades of his music career.
Main Tour Details
The 2026 Surfilmusic Tour will feature special guests Hermanos Gutiérrez, Lake Street Dive, and G. Love on select dates. Johnson co-wrote the soundtrack with Hermanos Gutiérrez and producer Mario Caldato Jr., known for work with the Beastie Boys and Beck. The first single, “Hold On To The Light,” has already been released, providing a preview of the new material.
The tour kicks off June 19 in Gilford, New Hampshire, and concludes October 11 with two nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
