Jack Johnson is bringing a little Hawaiian sunshine to Europe next summer, and he’s bringing some very good friends along for the ride. The singer-songwriter has announced the European leg of his ‘Surfilmusic Tour’, featuring performances across seven countries and special appearances from Ben Harper, Donavon Frankenreiter and G. Love.
The ten-date run begins June 23, 2027, at Munich’s Tollwood Festival and concludes July 15 at Ageas Cooljazz in Cascais, Portugal.
Along the way, Johnson will visit Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Cornwall, London and Barcelona, bringing his unmistakable blend of acoustic rock, folk and surf-inspired songwriting to some of Europe’s most celebrated venues.

It’s the kind of lineup that could easily turn a concert into an extended gathering of musical friends.
The European announcement follows a highly successful North American leg of the ‘Surfilmusic Tour’.
Johnson concluded that run with two sold-out performances at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 10 and 11.
The North American dates featured appearances from Hermanos
The North American dates featured appearances from Hermanos Gutiérrez, the instrumental duo who also collaborated with Johnson on the score for his documentary ‘Surfilmusic’.
Released in June 2026, the documentary explores Johnson’s career journey, connecting his musical accomplishments with the experiences that have shaped his artistic identity.
The accompanying score provides another example of his interest in collaboration and the atmospheric qualities of instrumental music.
That documentary also lends its name to the current international tour.
Johnson’s schedule continues to expand across continents.
Following the North American performances, the ‘Surfilmusic Tour’
Following the North American performances, the ‘Surfilmusic Tour’ heads to Australia and New Zealand in November 2026.
South American concerts are scheduled for February 2027, ahead of the newly announced European dates.
The itinerary reflects the international audience Johnson has cultivated through his distinctive musical approach.
His songs have consistently embraced themes of connection, everyday experiences and an appreciation for the natural world.
That sensibility has helped make his concerts welcoming experiences for audiences across generations.
The upcoming European dates offer a variety of settings, from historic concert halls to outdoor festivals.
