AJR's Maybe Man Tour Starts on April 3rd - Predicting the setlist and who is opening
By Alex Mcewen
Alternative band AJR is set to kick off their first arena tour tomorrow, the group's massive summer tour will see the band travel to 43 different cities across 30 states within the US. The tour will begin on April 3, 2024, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and wrap on August 3, 2024, in Boston Massachusetts.
The tour was originally scheduled to begin today; however, due to issues with the venue, the show in Norfolk Virginia was canceled. The show will be rescheduled at a later date at a different venue, and Jack from AJR shared a video message regarding the situation.
The band has been doing a countdown across their social media channels, sharing teasers of what fans can expect to see on stage. If you want to attend an AJR show and the tickets were previously sold out, fear not! The band changed the layout of the stage and there is a small number of tickets available. Check with your local box office or on Ticketmaster.
Who is opening for AJR on The Maybe Man Tour?
The group will be joined by three opening acts, Dean Lewis, mxmtoon, and Almost Monday. Lewis will be with the band for the first leg of the tour, from the opening show, until May 14, in Hollywood Florida.
There will be a bit of a break in the tour, then Almost Monday and mxmtoon will each have an opening set from June 25 to July 12, 2024. Beginning on July 14, mxmtoon will take over sole opening duties until the tour wraps on August 3.
What we know about The Maybe Man Tour and Predicting the Setlist
When AJR toured for their third album Neotheater their setlist was 17 songs. During the OK Orchestra tour, their setlist increased to 18 songs. Since this will be an arena tour, let's assume the setlist will grow once again, this time to 21 songs.
One big change that is confirmed via rehearsal clips the group has shared on social media is the band has added a violist. The newest performing member will join trumpeter Arnetta Johnson, and drummer Chris Barry, along with the three founder members Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met.
