Jack and the Band Last Minute Headliners at Bonnaroo

“Johnson and his band overcame tough odds and thorny logistics to headline the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on Saturday night, replacing late cancellation Mumford & Sons. Despite the short notice, they produced a set filled with good humor, mellow vibes and a ton of hits.” - Associated Press

After a last minute cancellation Jack and the band stepped up to the plate and played a headline set in place of Mumford & Sons this past weekend at Bonnaroo. The call came in late Thursday night from Bonnaroo asking if Jack and the band would help out because of a last minute cancellation from Mumford & Sons due to their bassist Ted Dwayne who is recovering from surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. With some clever work from his tour manager and management team, Jack was able to get all the band together, rent stage equipment and rehearse in less than 48 hours to play the first set together since last years Farm Aid.

The night was complete with some classic sing-a-longs, Jack’s newest single, “I Got You”, a new ditty called “Bonnaroo”, and of course a cover by Mumford & Sons, “The Cave”. And if the night hadn’t already gone great, right as Jack finished his encore solo, the skyline was filled with a firework show to wrap up yet another beautiful Tennessee night. Thanks Bonnaroo and get well soon Ted!

All At Once on the Road

For the fall tour, Jack and his production team, alongside Reverb, will continue to pave the way in green touring practices and community engagement initiatives. Tour vehicles will be fueled by domestic sustainable biodiesel wherever possible, concertgoers will be offered mass transportation options, waste reduction measures will be expanded and single-use disposable water bottles will continue to be eliminated backstage. In addition, the tour will source local food from “farm to stage” produce, offer eco-friendly merchandise, provide free water refill stations and invest in community based carbon offset projects. Details coming soon, visit: www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/greening



Through ongoing promotion of the All At Once campaign, Johnson’s fall From Here To Now To You Theater Tour will support over 75 hand-chosen community groups across Europe and North America with direct and matching donations. This year’s All At Once campaign will focus on engaging fans to take action in support of sustainable local food systems and plastic free initiatives.

“From Here To Now To You” Tour Announce

Jack, Adam, Merlo and Zach will hit the road this Fall in support of their sixth studio album, From Here To Now To You, to be released on September 17th through Jack’s Brushfire Records. Jack and the band will kick off their Theater tour in Europe on September 5th, and return to the States with a headline performance at Life is good Festival on September 22 in Canton, MA. From there, inspired by his solo acoustic Hawaiian Islands Theater Tour last year, Jack will play some of the most beautiful and intimate seated theatres in North America including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Seattle’s Paramount Theatre and the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. As Jack told Rolling Stone about his 2012 Hawaiian Islands Tour:

"They were the most magical shows," he says. "It gave you the time to tell stories and where the songs came from. I really enjoyed that. I think we're going to mix it up next year with different types of tours, but at least for a lot of it, we're going to try to do some theaters."

With 25 of his 28 fall tour venues in historic theaters, Jack is doing just that. As with all of his tours since 2008, Jack will donate 100% of his tour profits to charity.
