JACK JOHNSON RETURNS TO NZ FOR A ONE OFF SHOW THIS DECEMBER

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2017 - JACK JOHNSON and his band return this summer playing all your favourite songs outdoors, under the stars, touring in support of his forthcoming studio album, All The Light Above It Too.
 
Last here in 2013, Summer Tour will see Johnson performing one New Zealand show only, outdoors at Villa Maria Estate, Auckland, on Sunday December 10.
 
Playing to 270,000 fans across 19 shows on his recent North American trek, fans can expect to hear plenty of classic Jack including ‘Better Together’, ‘Flake’, ‘Banana Pancakes’, ‘Taylor’, ‘Sitting, Waiting, Wishing’ and more, plus songs from the new album.
 
Joining Jack Johnson will be special guests The Black Seeds and his own Brushfire Records labelmate, Bahamas.
 
Tickets go on sale at 2pm Monday, September 11.
 
Spark is bringing an exciting pre-sale just for Spark customers from midday Wednesday, September 6 until midday Friday, September 8.

For complete tour and ticketing details, including a special ticket + album bundle, visit:livenation.co.nz.
 
Jack Johnson’s songwriting over the years has been a rare balance of quiet introspection and thoughtful observation. Born and raised in Hawaii where he grew up surfing and playing guitar, Johnson released his debut album Brushfire Fairytales in 2001. Since then he has released another six studio and two live albums that have sold in excess of 25 million copies worldwide. In New Zealand he has sold more than 270,000 albums and had six albums at #1 including 2005’s hit, In Between Dreams.
 
All The Light Above It Too is the seventh studio album for the multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter and the follow-up to 2013’s From Here to Now to You. This latest offering finds Johnson returning to the stripped-back, homegrown feel of the four-track recordings that launched his career more than 17 years ago. While his longtime bandmates Adam (drums), Merlo (bass) and Zach (piano) accompanied him on several tracks, Johnson handled most of the instrumentation on his own, sculpting many of the songs around his graceful guitar performance. All The Light Above It Too will be released here on September 8.
 
Johnson and his production team, alongside Reverb, will continue to pave the way in green touring practices with extensive sustainability programs at every show. Curbing the use of single-use plastic has been at the forefront of Johnson’s work for over a decade. Since 2005, Johnson’s crew has implemented a plastic free backstage and since 2007 all shows have offered fans free water through water-refill stations with reusable bottle and cup options to reduce single-use plastic. Additional greening actions for Johnson’s 2017  Summer Tour include sourcing local, organic food as part of a “farm to stage” program, producing upcycled and eco-friendly merchandise, expanding waste reduction, composting and recycling, offering bike valets and alternative transportation incentives, as well as offsetting all remaining CO2 emissions.   Through Jack’s All at Once  campaign, the summer tour will support over 30 non-profit partners and will engage fans to take action in support of sustainable local food systems and plastic free initiatives. Fans can visit these partners in the Village Green and participate in the greening actions at each show. Leading up to each show our All At Once Non-Profit Partner Tangaroa Bluewill be hosting volunteer beach cleanups in each concert city. Sign up for Jack’s newsletter for details. Further information on green initiatives here.
