John Mayer Announces Six Sphere Shows for April 2027
The six-performance John Mayer Sphere run is scheduled for April 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18, 2027. The dates span two consecutive weekends at the Las Vegas venue.
Each concert will present Mayer’s music in three formats: solo, with a full band and with the John Mayer Trio. Rather than separating those configurations across individual dates, all three will be incorporated into each evening.
The first weekend begins Thursday, April 8, followed by performances on Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11. Mayer returns the following Thursday, April 15, before concluding the run with shows on Saturday, April 17 and Sunday, April 18.
The announcement adds another major music engagement to Las Vegas’ 2027 entertainment calendar. The city continues to host concerts, residencies and awards events, with other Las Vegas music events bringing established performers to venues across the city.
Las Vegas Schedule Includes Six April Performances
Mayer’s Sphere engagement begins April 8 and concludes April 18, placing all six performances within an 11-day period.
The complete schedule is:
- Thursday, April 8, 2027
- Saturday, April 10, 2027
- Sunday, April 11, 2027
- Thursday, April 15, 2027
- Saturday, April 17, 2027
- Sunday, April 18, 2027
All six concerts will take place at Sphere in Las Vegas. Each performance is set to combine Mayer’s solo work, a full-band portion and a John Mayer Trio set within the same show.
The schedule gives Mayer two three-show weekends at the venue while allowing the individual concerts to draw from multiple parts of his live performance history.
John Mayer Plans Solo and Full-Band Sets
The solo portion of each concert will feature Mayer performing without the full-band lineup. The format puts greater emphasis on individual musicianship before the show expands into its other configurations.
Mayer will also perform with a full band during each Sphere concert, creating a larger ensemble format within the same evening.
The shift between solo and full-band performances gives the concerts multiple musical settings while keeping Mayer’s catalog at the center of the production. The John Mayer Trio will provide the third component of every show.
The multi-format approach comes as artists continue to experiment with how live music is presented on tour. Other major international tour announcements have similarly highlighted large-scale productions and changing concert formats as performers develop new ways to bring their music to live audiences.
John Mayer Trio Will Join the Sphere Lineup
The John Mayer Trio will appear during each April 2027 Sphere concert, bringing Mayer together with drummer Steve Jordan and bassist Pino Palladino.
The trio forms one of the three musical configurations planned for each performance. Mayer’s solo portion will provide the first format, while the full-band and trio sets will expand the lineup during the evening.
Jordan and Palladino are longtime members of the John Mayer Trio. Jordan handles drums, while Palladino plays bass alongside Mayer on guitar and vocals.
Their participation gives the Sphere shows a direct connection to Mayer’s trio work while allowing the concerts to move between stripped-down solo material and larger ensemble arrangements.
The three-part structure also distinguishes the engagement from a conventional concert built around one backing lineup. Attendees at all six dates are expected to see Mayer perform in each of the announced configurations rather than receiving a different format depending on the night.
