John Mayer & Train announce summer dates, coming to Raleigh

Foot-in-mouth crooner John Mayer has just announced a big summer tour and will be taking Train out for some of the ride. The tour will kick off at Charlotte's Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Friday, July 16 before making it's way the next night, Saturday, July 17, to the amphitheatre at Walnut Creek in Raleigh.

Ticket info for the shows is not yet available, but we'll keep you posted. Tickets for the Raleigh show will go on sale on Friday, April 23 at 10 a.m. here for $63.50 to $30. Check out the full tour schedule below.

Both Mayer and Train were in area recently. Mayer was at the Greensboro Coliseum on March 15 and Train played the Carolina Theatre in Durham on March 10. It's certainly a sign that the concert industry in this part of the state is starting to get a lot more attention from promoters and artists (or at least their booking agents).
