Environmental Commitment
In partnership with the Johnson ‘Ohana Foundation, all net proceeds from Platinum and Premium ticket sales will benefit local non-profit organizations in each concert city. Additionally, $2 from every ticket sold will support environmental initiatives, with funds directed to REVERB’s Climate Project Portfolio and Johnson's All At Once non-profit partners.
New Music and Documentary
The tour coincides with the release of Johnson's new single, "Hold On To The Light," featuring Hermanos Gutiérrez. This track serves as a preview of the SURFILMUSIC soundtrack, which will accompany a documentary chronicling Johnson's journey from surfer to filmmaker and musician. The documentary will highlight his iconic surf films, "Thicker Than Water" and "The September Sessions," and is set to debut in 2026.
Criticism & Opposition
While the tour has been generally well-received, some critics have raised concerns regarding the commercialization of environmental initiatives in the music industry. They argue that while charitable contributions are commendable, the effectiveness of such efforts can sometimes be overshadowed by the scale of the events and the environmental impact of large concerts.
