The Grammy-winning artist John Mayer is finally making his way to India for his first live performance after years of waiting. One of the most admired and significant musicians of his generation, Mayer is well-known for his blues-influenced guitar skills, emotional songwriting, and soulful voice.
On 22nd January, 2026, he will make his India debut at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Racecourse, where fans will be able to see him perform live in a small solo setting. Mayer has characterized the forthcoming performance as both "humbling and exhilarating," stressing his long-standing desire to connect with Indian fans.

Only Mayer, his guitar, and a small set list will be featured at his solo concert in Mumbai. His greatest hits, including 'Gravity and Daughters,' as well as more recent singles like 'New Light,' and 'Last Train Home,' will be mixed together for fans to enjoy. Every concert experience is different because of Mayer's improvisational skills and dramatic storytelling, even if the official setlist hasn't been made public.
Indian fans, many of whom have followed his career for years without the opportunity to see him live, are anticipated to find great resonance in his unique style, which combines pop, blues, soul, and folk. Mayer's emotional, guitar-driven performance was a perfect fit for Mahalaxmi Racecourse, a venue that has previously played host to international acts and is renowned for its expansive outdoor atmosphere.
