Mayer announced this solo tour on Instagram with a heartfelt note for his followers that reveals a lot about how he sees his journey in the music world.

In Conclusion
It is clear from his Instagram post that this tour holds a lot of sentimental value for John Mayer. He recalls the beginning of his journey when he was just an artist with a guitar and a dream. This tour is a call-back to his journey. Talking about the tour itself, Mayer said:
“I began my career on stage with only a guitar and a microphone. A lot has changed since then, but I knew one day I’d feel it in my heart to do an entire run of shows on my own again, just like those early days. It took a couple of decades, but I feel it now. I’ll be playing old songs. Newer songs. Songs you haven’t heard yet that I’ll be road testing – all on acoustic, electric, and piano.”
It seems that no one could be more excited about this tour than John himself.
