John Mayer Bags $50M from Search for Everything Tour
After seven weeks of travelling around the U.S. and Canada and performing in arenas and open-air amphitheatres, John Mayer has finally finished the North American run of his “Search for Everything Tour”.
According to Billboard, the ticket sales have brought in nearly $50 million since the launch of the tour back in March. Around 685,000 fans have attended the 52 performances over the late spring and summer.
Produced by Live Nation, this third headlining tour is in support of his seventh studio album by the same name – ”The Search for Everything”. The first North American run through 15 arenas started with a concert in Albany on March 31 and ended on April 22 in Las Vegas and grossed over $14 million. The European leg consisted of 8 performances starting May 2 in Amsterdam and ending May 12 in London and earned $1.7 million. The second, more extensive North American run kicked off on July 18 at Isleta Amphitheatre in Albuquerque and ended at Klipsch Music Center in Indianapolis on September 3, grossing $ 28 million in box office revenue and this, all together, earned him No 1 on Billboard’s weekly Hot Tours.
John Mayer’s fans still have the opportunity to enjoy his music on his South American run in October before he joins “Dead & Company” in November. On his final run of the “Search for Everything tour”, he will hit arenas in Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre.
This Connecticut-born singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer started his career performing mainly acoustic rock, but over the years he moved towards blues collaborating with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B.B. King. He withdrew from public life for few years due to his vocal cord treatments and several controversial incidents with media but he returned to the stage in 2013 with his country-influenced album “Paradise Valley”.
His interests extend to television hosting, comedy and writing columns for magazines such as Esquire. While guest hosting “The Late Late Show” in February 2015, Mayer invited Grateful Dead guitar player Bob Weir to join him in a studio performance and the two have developed close bond. This accidental friendship resulted in forming a new band Dead & Company consisting of three former members of Grateful Dead and John.
Dead & Company will perform 15 shows in 14 cities between November 12 and December 8 on their “Fall Tour 2017”. Although the band hasn’t released studio recordings yet, they will perform the Grateful Dead large catalogue of songs.
