John Mayer music release and label launch

Overview

Singer-songwriter John Mayer has announced his first solo single in five years, titled ‘Tom and Jerry’, which is scheduled for release on October 24, 2026. The track, produced by Blake Slatkin and mixed by Serban Ghenea, reportedly originated from a voice memo. Prior to the official release, Mayer will provide an exclusive preview on the SiriusXM channel ‘Life with John Mayer’.

Alongside the new music, Mayer announced the launch of his own record label, Sob Rock Records, in partnership with Universal Music’s Mercury Records. This follows his 2022 departure from Sony Music.

Mayer is also preparing for a 21-show residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, scheduled to take place between April and June 2027. The Live Nation-sponsored performances will feature career-spanning sets including acoustic, electric, and piano arrangements.

Charitable components have been attached to the residency: 100% of proceeds from ticket auctions will benefit the Heart and Armor Foundation, a veterans' health organization founded by Mayer, while $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to his Back To You Fund.
