John Mayer Sphere Residency Lands Six April Dates

John Mayer Books Six Sphere Nights For April 2027 With Trio, Band And Solo Sets

Published September 28, 2026

John Mayer will play six nights at Sphere in April 2027, and every show splits into three formats: a solo set, a full-band set, and a set with the John Mayer Trio. That trio, Mayer with drummer Steve Jordan and bassist Pino Palladino, has not shared a stage in years. The run was announced Monday with tickets opening in October, so anyone planning a spring Vegas trip has time to build the trip around it.

Six Sphere Nights Spread Across Two April Weeks

The dates land in two Thursday-to-Sunday blocks a week apart: April 8, 10 and 11, then April 15, 17 and 18. Tickets start at $129, and one dollar from each ticket sold goes to Mayer’s Back to You Fund. An artist presale opens October 7 at 10 a.m. PT, with the general on-sale following on October 9. Only six nights are announced so far. For a room that seats 18,600, six nights is a real commitment. If you want to see how the broader spring calendar is filling in, the Las Vegas concert calendar already on sale gives you a sense of how fast these runs move.

Mayer Returns To A Room He Has Already Sold Out

Mayer is not new to Sphere. He played the venue with Dead & Company across a 48-show residency. A solo acoustic set in that space is a very different proposition from a full band with a lighting rig built for the room. Because each night covers all three formats, one ticket gets you the trio, the full band and the solo set, so there is no wrong night to pick. First-time visitors usually want to see what else the building is running before they book, since Sphere sits behind the Strip rather than on it. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere is the production in the room now, with tickets from $123.

Two Long Weekends Built Around The April Dates

The schedule is built for out-of-towners. Each block runs Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, so a Thursday arrival and a Sunday departure puts two shows inside a single trip without taking a full week off. The gap between April 11 and April 15 is the one wrinkle: no single trip catches all six. Since every night covers all three formats, a two-show trip gets you the trio, the band and the solo set more than once rather than forcing a choice.

Book Your Sphere Dates Before The Presale Closes

Six nights in an 18,600-seat room sounds like a lot until you remember how quickly Sphere runs clear. Sort your dates now, decide which format you want to see, and have your booking ready before the October 9 on-sale. Spotlight carries Sphere inventory alongside the rest of the spring calendar.
