John K to Embark on North American 'SALT + LIGHT Tour: Part 1'

Multi-platinum singer/songwriter John K has announced the SALT + LIGHT Tour: Part 1. The 21-date North American run kicks off on July 31 in Seattle, WA at Barboza with stops across San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York City, Atlanta, and more, before wrapping on August 31st in John’s hometown of Orlando, FL at The Social.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with an artist pre-sale on May 7 at 10 AM local time, while a Spotify pre-sale begins May 8 at 10 AM local time. Tickets will be on-sale to the public on Friday, May 9 at 10 AM local time here. 

The tour supports John K’s upcoming third studio album, due for release this year. The artist recently kicked the era off into high gear with the release of his recent single “Honey.”  The acclaimed track boasts an effortless display of the artist’s versatility that showcases the best of his songwriting bonafides. Get “Honey” via Epic Records HERE and watch the official music video, directed by Cameron Dean (Teddy Swims/Giveon, Burna Boy) HERE.

John’s steady foray back into action has invigorated his global audience, which was solidified by an inspiring run of success over the last few years. In just a few short years, John achieved an opening role on the international One Republic Tour, toured with Marc E Bassy, sold out a crowd of 15,000-plus in Korea (where he is now a beloved pop star), and racked up over 1.3 billion streams of his material. His 2019 break-out single “if we never met” went multi-platinum, and he released two albums over the course of 2020 and 2021. Most recently, John K began to tease this new era of his artistry with the 2024 single “LOST,” written before the birth of his second child.

Now, as he charges towards his anticipated third album, John reflects on the road to this point. “I’ve grown into becoming a father and a husband, and my music has truly grown with me,” he says. “The goal is still timeless, classic, and story-driven songwriting, but I write from my heart not only for myself—but for my wife and my growing family as well.”

About John K

John K crafts the kinds of songs that can make you recall the best memories of your life, prepare you to face any challenge, and remind you to live in the moment. Bringing big-screen ambition, intimate honesty, and infectious confidence to pop music, the Orlando-based singer/songwriter takes flight higher than ever with his new single “Honey” and upcoming third studio album, due in 2025.

Since emerging, he has generated 1.3 billion streams and 100 million video views across EPs and albums like if we never met [2019], love + everything else [2020], and in case you miss me [2021]. His breakthrough smash “if we never met” notably reached double-platinum status, and he has worked with artists like Kelsea Ballerini, ROSIE, Don Diablo and Jake Scott. Noted for his impeccable live vocals and magnetic stage presence, he has packed houses on tours with names like OneRepublic and Marc E Bassy, in addition to performing for 15,000 fans in South Korea where his album love + everything else is certified diamond and “parachute” is 4x-platinum. Along the way, he incited the applause of Billboard, Flaunt, L’Officiel, MTV, and Rolling Stone.

“I’ve grown into becoming a father and a husband, and my music has grown with me,” he says of his new body of work. “The goal is still timeless, classic, and story-driven songwriting, but I write from my heart not only for myself—but for my wife and my growing family as well.” He further explains, “I want every word I’m singing to be believable. “My biggest hope is to connect. I hope the tension, pain, growth, and love come out in this beautiful way. I want to write songs you can play at your wedding and keep coming back to for the rest of your life. I’m grateful for every day I get to pursue this. I’m taking notice of all the beauty around me, and I’m excited to bring this music to the world.”
