The Black Keys – Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney – have announced a North American tour dubbed, “Let’s Rock.” The 31-date trek will feature openers Modest Mouse. Prior to the tour, the band will perform at Las Vegas, Nevada’s Life is Beautiful festival on September 21st.
The duo is also hitting the road with several artists with whom they’ve collaborated with previously for select dates, including Shannon & the Clams, who released 2018’s Onion on Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label; *repeat repeat, whose upcoming Glazed album was produced by Carney; and Jessy Wilson, whose recent “Love and Sophistication” single was written and recorded with Carney.
The run kicks off this fall. The tour traverses through several Midwest cities in September and October, along with stops in Nashville, Tennessee, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and Toronto, ON, Canada, before hitting the East Coast and then heading south and concluding on the West Coast. This leg of the tour concludes on November 24th at Pepsi Live at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Tickets go on sale on March 22nd, with presale tickets available beginning March 19th for Citi Card members and Ticketmaster Verified Fans.
The blues-rock-oriented pair marked a return to form with their recently released single, “Lo/Hi.” The song is the Black Keys’ first new music since 2014 LP, Turn Blue.
