guitarist and singer-songwriterJohn Mayer’s much-awaited India concert has hit an unexpected pause, leaving fans both surprised and disappointed. The Grammy-winning musician was scheduled to perform in Mumbai on January 22, 2026, but the concert has now been postponed. While excitement around Mayer’s first-ever Indian show remains high, the sudden rescheduling has raised concerns, especially among fans who had already planned travel and accommodation around the original date.
John Mayer’s concert DELAYED, what should ticket holders do?
BookMyShow Live officially announced the update via social media, stating, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the John Mayer concert scheduled for January 22nd, 2026, has been postponed to February 11th, 2026, at Mahalaxmi Race Course, Mumbai."Making the situation clear about tickets, the announcement read, "All existing tickets purchased on book my show will remain valid for the rescheduled date. For any ticket related inquiries, please contact our customer service team at reachout@bookmyshow.com. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you soon."
As per the organisers, ticket holders do not need to take any additional action if they plan to attend the concert on February 11, as all tickets will automatically remain valid. However, the announcement did not clarify whether refund options will be made available for those unable to attend the mid-week show, which has become a major point of frustration online.
John Mayer Fans disappointed
Fans who had booked flights and hotels for the January date were quick to voice their disappointment. One fan wrote, "Who's gonna refund my flights and tickets both? Where's the refund option :/" Another echoed similar concerns, saying, "11th Feb is a mid week (Wednesday show) @bookmyshowin @bookmyshow.live , do you guys understand that this is not just about the expenses tickets but like me, people are coming from all corners of the city and have booked Flight + Hotel stays which are not easy to cancel. How dare you not even give us an option of refunds?"
However, amid all the backlash, it is important to note that John is currently dealing with the passing of his dear friend, previous bandmate and musician Bob Weir. Most of his upcoming tour dates have been shifted, not just Mumbai.
Despite the backlash, the concert continues to be one of the most anticipated live music events in India. Produced by BookMyShow Live, the one-night-only performance will see John Mayer bring his globally celebrated catalog to Mumbai, including hits like Gravity, Slow Dancing In A Burning Room, and Waiting On The World To Change.For now, fans await further clarity on refund policies while hoping the rescheduled date delivers an unforgettable night of music.
