Jack Johnson, whose In Between Dreams reached number one in Britain in 2005, plays The O2 for its 20th birthday, with Ben Harper, Donavon Frankenreiter and G. Love.
Jack Johnson, the Hawaiian singer-songwriter whose album In Between Dreams reached number one in Britain in 2005, plays The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Sunday 4 July 2027. Ben Harper, Donavon Frankenreiter and G. Love join him on the bill.
Johnson grew up on the North Shore of Oahu and started playing guitar at 14. Before his first album, Brushfire Fairytales, he made surf films.
In Between Dreams carried “Better Together” into the British top 40 in 2006, and “Upside Down” followed from the Curious George soundtrack. Sleep Through the Static and To the Sea also reached number one here.
His eight studio albums have sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. A portion of every tour’s proceeds goes to the Johnson Ohana Foundation, which he and his wife Kim set up for environmental, art and music education.
The concert is part of The O2’s 20th birthday programme, which marks two decades since the arena opened in 2007.
Johnson lists Ben Harper and G. Love among the musicians who shaped him. Donavon Frankenreiter completes the bill.
