John Mayer returns to Tampa’s Amalie Arena next week

John Mayer’s new album, “Sob Rock,” finally emerged over the summer, and the 44-year-old songwriter and guitarist is bringing it to Tampa for a show at Amalie Arena next week.

Mayer was supposed to have performed with Dead and Company last October at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, but due to “routing and production logistics” (cough cough DeSantis’ ban on vaccine requirements), shows in both Tampa and West Palm Beach ended up getting outright canceled.

As a result, Tuesday night’s event will mark his first headlining show in the area since having played Amalie Arena in 2017.
No word if Mr. Sob Rock is going to down his sorrows in mini-doughnuts again, but we’ll be on the lookout.
