John Mayer is set to bring his Solo Acoustic tour to London’s O2 Arena this week to give his audience a cosier take on some of his heartfelt romantic numbers.
The US singer-songwriter is stopping off at the Greenwich venue for two nights, on Monday and Tuesday, as part of the European leg of his world tour.
Later this week, he will head to the Netherlands for two nights in Amsterdam and then a one-night stop in Paris, before it’s back to our isles for Glasgow on March 27 and Dublin on March 29.
Here’s what happened last time he played the O2 Arena.
And below is all you need to know ahead of Mayer’s shows.
Europe and UK Solo Tour tickets are on sale now! Due to outsized demand, we have added additional dates in London and Amsterdam. I can’t wait to see your faces and to listen to @madicunningham play every night.

Who is supporting John Mayer?
Madison Cunningham, a folk singer with three albums under her belt. has been given the nod for the European dates. She is very much in the spirit of Americana and will provide a perfect warm-up for Mayer’s soulful numbers.
When will John Mayer be on stage?
Doors open at 6.30pm and our educated guess is that Cunningham will be on stage by around 7.30pm, giving enough time for Mayer’s team to set up.
By recent precedent, Mayer will be on stage at around 9pm and has been winding up with Free Fallin’ before 11pm.
But don’t leave it to chance; in a recent gig in Copenhagen, he caught a few out by turning up at 8.40pm. Maybe his parking ticket was about to expire.
Londoners, you’ll be absolutely fine to get home as the Jubilee line is running a good service all the way to Stanmore until 12.20pm. However, it’s always best to check the latest travel updates ahead of your journey.
Stockholm, SE - the perfect kickoff to the Europe/UK tour. So great to be back in a city that has always supported me, and after four years away... and I’m joined by the brilliant @madicunningham who is sure to align me with the love of music every night via her insanely… pic.twitter.com/FHdqZU69w1
