The trek runs from June through October
Multi-platinum recording artist Jack Johnson announces Surfilmusic Tour, a 43-date North American tour that will take Johnson and his band coast-to-coast next year. The tour marks Johnson’s long-awaited return to the road since 2022 and will celebrate a new era of music, film, and environmental connection rooted in his chart-topping catalogue, spanning over twenty years.
In support of the tour, Johnson has released a new single, “Hold On To The Light,” featuring Hermanos Gutiérrez. The song offers an early glimpse into the forthcoming Surfilmusic soundtrack, scored by Jack Johnson and Hermanos Gutiérrez for a new film featuring Johnson set to debut next year.
Surfilmusic, a documentary chronicling Johnson’s evolution from surfer to filmmaker to world-renowned musician, weaves through the making of his iconic surf films Thicker Than Water and The September Sessions. These classic films revealed Johnson’s artistic point of view through his lens and guitar, ultimately launching his music career.
The new film celebrates the lifelong friendships and ocean-driven community that shaped Johnson’s path, and features many of the surfers who appeared in the original films, including Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and the Malloy Brothers. It also captures the shared spirit of exploration and creativity that continues to inspire his music and environmentalism today. Additional Surfilmusic documentary and soundtrack details will be announced next year.
For the soundtrack, Hermanos Gutiérrez, longtime admirers of Johnson’s music and surf films, joined him in the studio, where Johnson also reunited with producer Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys, Seu Jorge, Beck), who co-produced several of Johnson’s most beloved albums, including In Between Dreams and Sleep Through the Static. What began as a mutual appreciation quickly turned into a creative connection and friendship, resulting in a beautiful new song, “Hold On To The Light,” and an original film score. Their collaboration will extend to the stage next summer and fall, with the brothers opening for Johnson on many of the dates.
Jack Johnson Surfilmusic Tour will head to North America’s most beautiful outdoor venues to the ocean, with Hermanos Gutiérrez opening for many of the dates along with Lake Street Dive and longtime friend, G. Love.
Presales start on Monday, November 10th at 10 am local time, ahead of the general sale on Friday, November 14th.
A pioneer in tour greening and sustainability, Johnson continues to lead by example and set the gold standard for environmentally conscious touring. At every stop, the tour will spotlight Johnson’s long-standing commitment to sustainability, community, and action. In partnership with Reverb, a leading non-profit engaging musicians and fans to create positive environmental changes at concerts and beyond, the tour will further reduce its footprint while inspiring collective action. The Village Green, a hallmark of his tours, will feature local and national All At Once Non-Profit Partners focused on environmental stewardship, plastic-free initiatives, and sustainable local food systems, offering fans meaningful ways to connect and make a difference at every show.
In partnership with the Johnson ʻOhana Foundation, all net proceeds from Platinum and Premium ticketing programs will directly support non-profit organizations in each city. In addition, $2 from every ticket will benefit the environment, with $1 being directed to Reverb’s Climate Project Portfolio to support carbon reduction projects and $1 supporting All At Once Non-Profit Partners working on environmental initiatives in communities near each concert and across the country.
