You prepare for it, but when it happens, it’s spontaneous and, in a way, unique. I love it when that happens, and it does most nights.”James Taylor Summer 2025 TourMay 5 – Phoenix, AZ @ Footprint CenterMay 7 – Palm Desert, CA @ Acrisure ArenaMay 8 – Highland, CA @ Yaamava TheaterMay 10-11 – San Diego, CA @ Rady ShellMay 13-14 – Santa Barbara, CA @ Santa Barbara BowlMay 16 – Stanford, CA @ Frost AmphitheaterMay 17 – Lincoln, CA @ The Venue at Thunder ValleyMay 19 – Bend, OR @ Hayden Homes AmphitheatreMay 21 – Nampa, ID @ Ford AmphitheaterMay 23 – Ridgefield, WA @ RV Inn Style Resorts AmphitheatreMay 25-26 – Seattle, WA @ Chateau St. Michelle WineryMay 13-14 – Morrison, CO @ Red RocksMay 17 – St. Paul, MN @ Xcel CenterMay 19 – Highland Park, IL @ RaviniaMay 21 – Milwaukee, WI @ SummerfestJune 13-14 — Morrison, CO @ Red Rocks AmphitheaterJune 17 — St. Paul, MN @ Xcel CenterJune 19 — Highland Park, IL @ RaviniaJune 23 – Cincinnati, OH @ Riverbend AmphitheaterJune 24 – Cuyahoga Falls, OH @ Blossom Music CenterJune 27 – Toronto, ON @ Budweiser StageJune 29 – Canandaigua, NY @ CMACJuly 1 – Gilford, NH @ BankNH PavilionJuly 3-4 — Lenox, MA @ Tanglewood Music CenterAug. 21 — Vienna, VA @ Wolf TrapAug. 23 — Vienna, VA @ Wolf TrapAug. 24 — Vienna, VA @ Wolf TrapAug. 26 — Boston, MA @ MGM Music Hall at FenwayAug. 27 — Boston, MA – MGM Music Hall at FenwayAug. 29 — Bridgeport, CT @ Hartford Healthcare AmphitheaterAug. 30 — Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts CenterSept. 1 — Richmond, VA @ Riverfront AmphitheaterSept. 3 — Virginia Beach, VA @ Veterans United Home Loans AmphitheatreSept. 4 — Raleigh, NC @ Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut CreekSept. 6 — Atlanta, GA @ Cadence Bank Amp.
