John Mayer will return to Las Vegas’ Sphere for a series of headlining dates next year. The guitarist, who hosted residencies at the venue in 2024 and 2025 as a member of Dead & Company, will appear at the immersive space on April 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18. According to the announcement, he will perform solo, with his full and in a trio format. The trio spots will feature bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan; the John Mayer Trio last performed together in 2023, when they regrouped for short sets at Love Rocks and the Crossroads Guitar Festival. Since Bob Weir’s passing earlier this year, Mayer has shied away from covering Grateful Dead music as he has inched back into his solo career.

Up next, Mayer will appear at Buddy Guy’s 90th birthday celebration at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, October 1. He will also perform at Uncasville, CT’s Mohegan Sun Arena on October 9 as part of Mohegan Sun’s 30th Birthday Celebration and Hollywood, CA’s Chaplin Studios on October 10 during Soundstage of Hope.
