Jack Johnson has confirmed the U.S.
leg of his world tour in support of the chart-topping Sleep Through the
Static. The Hawaiian-born musician, filmmaker and surfer will headline a
striking number of festivals over the next few months, including Coachella,
Bonnaroo, All Points West and Outside Lands,
as well as his own Kokua Festival. Johnson will also hit a number of
amphitheaters, with Rogue Wave, Mason Jennings, Neil Halsted, Money Mark and
Culver City Dub Collective featuring Paula Fuga opening various legs of his
journey.
Sleep Through the Static, the first album to credit ALO keyboardist Zach
Gill as a fulltime member of Johnsons band, debuted at #1 in the UK, Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and Singapore and on Japan’s International Chart,
while in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, The Netherlands, Sweden, and
Taiwan, the album debuted in the Top 5. In addition, Johnson is launching All
At Once in partnership with non-profits worldwide and will host a Village Green
at each stop on his tour. All donations made by fans to these organizations
online or at the concerts will be matched by his charity, the Johnson Ohana
Charitable Foundation (up to $2,500 per organization).
Fans will also be able to offset their carbon emissions that result from
traveling to the show two ways: as an extra $.50 opt-in at the time of online
ticket purchase, or via an exclusive Jack Johnson offset sticker (available at
the show). Proceeds from these contributions will go to the All At Once
Carbon Management Portfolio, an offset portfolio created especially for this
tour by a team of climate scientists to address the two largest contributors to
global warming: burning fossil fuel and deforestation.
Johnsons summer tour will kick off June 13 at Noblesville, IN’s Verizon
Wireless Music Center and hit sheds in most major North American markets,
including Cuyahoga Falls, OH (6/17), Clarkston, MI (6/18), East Troy (6/21),
Somerset, WI (6/22), Oro, ON (6/3), Mansfield, MA (8/6), Camden, NJ (8/7),
Raleigh, NC (8/12), Atlanta (8/13),
Bonner Springs, KS (8/15), Morrison, CO (8/17), Salt Lake City, UT (8/18), St.
Helens, OR (8/20), Vancouver, BC (8/21) and George, WA (8/22).
