Jack Johnson to Play Shows in NJ, PA, NY

originally published: 11/08/2025

(HOLMDEL, NJ) -- Multi-platinum recording artist Jack Johnson brings the SURFILMUSIC Tour to the local area with shows at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on June 21st; Highmark Mann Center in Philadelphia on June 27th; and Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY on June 28, 2026. 

The SURFILMUSIC Tour includes 43 performances that will take Johnson and his band coast-to-coast next year. The tour marks Johnson's long-awaited return to the road since 2022 and will celebrate a new era of music, film, and environmental connection rooted in his chart-topping catalogue, spanning over twenty years.

In support of the tour, Johnson has released a new single, "Hold On To The Light," featuring Hermanos Gutiérrez, out on all streaming platforms. The song offers an early glimpse into the forthcoming SURFILMUSIC soundtrack, scored by Jack Johnson and Hermanos Gutiérrez for a new film featuring Johnson set to debut next year. 

SURFILMUSIC, a documentary chronicling Jack’s evolution from surfer to filmmaker to world-renowned musician, weaves through the making of his iconic surf films Thicker Than Water (1999) and The September Sessions (2000). These classic films revealed Jack’s artistic point of view through his lens and guitar, ultimately launching his music career.

The new film celebrates the lifelong friendships and ocean-driven community that shaped Jack’s path, and features many of the surfers who appeared in the original films, including Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and the Malloy Brothers. It also captures the shared spirit of exploration and creativity that continues to inspire his music and environmentalism today. Additional SURFILMUSIC documentary and soundtrack details will be announced next year.
