Johnson To Give 100 Per Cent Of Tour Profits To Charity

Surfer dude-turned-singer/songwriter JACK JOHNSON will be touring North America without pay this summer (10) - 100 per cent of profits will go to charity.

The All At Once singer has announced a 34-date tour between July and October in support of his new album, To The Sea, and he won’t make a cent from the trek.

Instead, the Hawaiian-born eco-warrior will donate all profits to his favourite charities.

And the tour will be a green one - Johnson, who records his albums in solar-powered studios in Hawaii and Los Angeles, will fuel all tour vehicles with sustainable biodiesel, all tour merchandise will be eco-friendly and he’s urging fans to ride share with others to his shows.

In addition, venues have been encouraged to reduce waste, recycle, use water refill stations and offset carbon emissions.

Dates start in Hartford, Connecticut on 9 July (10).

Johnson is currently on tour in Australia. He’ll perform at European festivals, including Glastonbury and Roskilde, before embarking on his U.S. tour.
