Will Jack Johnson’s upcoming tour resonate with fans in New Zealand? The answer is a resounding yes, as he returns for a six-date tour across Australia and New Zealand starting on November 20, 2026, in Auckland. This marks his first performance in the region since 2022.
Tour details:
- The tour includes stops in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and North Canterbury.
- Special guests will feature Ben Harper and John Butler, adding an exciting dynamic to the performances.
- The tour celebrates the release of the SURFILMUSIC documentary soundtrack on May 15, 2026.
Jack Johnson has built a loyal following over the years. He has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide across eight studio albums. His music often reflects his love for surfing and environmental activism—a connection that resonates deeply with fans.
The addition of Harper and Butler makes for a particularly loaded bill. Fans can expect to hear classics like “Better Together,” “Flake,” “Inaudible Melodies,” “Taylor,” and “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing” during the performances. Johnson will perform alongside his long-time bandmates Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski, and Zach Gill.
Johnson’s last tour in Australia and New Zealand was in 2022. Since then, he has continued to support various charitable initiatives. Proceeds from his albums and tours have resulted in over $40 million donated to charities. This commitment to giving back is likely to enhance the experience for concert-goers.
The excitement around this tour is palpable as fans eagerly anticipate what Johnson will bring back this time around. With the combination of his own hits and the presence of two iconic artists like Ben Harper and John Butler, this promises to be an unforgettable experience.
