James Taylor will be hitting the road in a big way next year with his All-Star Band. His 2025 North American tour will include 24 concerts in 20 cities, including eight performances in California alone. The Boston trio Tiny Habits will be the opening act.
The tour opens May 5 at Footprint Center in Phoenix and concludes July 1 at New Hampshire's BankNH Pavilion. The full tour itinerary and ticket information appears below.
Taylor, 76, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. He has not performed in San Diego since his November 2021 concert with Jackson Browne at Pechanga Arena.
The lineup for Taylor's All-Star Band has not yet been announced. But the group's eight members for his 2024 tour included drum legend Steve Gadd, guitarist Dean Parks and keyboardist and music director Kevin Hays, whose recording credits include an array of jazz greats and such varied artists as Taylor, Mavis Staples and Norah Jones.
