It's time for another slow dance with John Mayer, Nashville. The famed guitarist-songwriter returns to Bridgestone Arena this spring.

Mayer — a seven-time Grammy Award winner — performs in Music City on March 24, a Friday night. The show stops in Nashville during a month-long run of North American acoustic shows, a first-of-its-kind tour for Mayer.

Ticket pre-sale launches Feb. 1 at 9 a.m. via johnmayer.com; general on-sale opens Feb. 3 at 9 a.m. via bridgestonearena.com.

While Mayer's a regular on the Bridgestone Arena stage — with tour stops at the downtown venue in 2019 and 2022 — fans this March can expect a stripped-back setlist unlike those in his past shows. Mayer plans to primarily deliver an acoustic show, with additional arrangements planned on piano and electric guitar, according to a news release.
