Jack White and Brendan Benson’s The Raconteurs announced that they’ll be heading out on an extensive headlining North American tour following the news of their first record in over a decade, Help Us Stranger.
The trek is set to kick-off in their hometown of Detroit, Michigan on July 12, followed by gigs in cities like Milwaukee, Oakland, Atlanta, Nashville, Boston, and Columbus. They’ll wrap-up at St. Louis’ The Pageant on October 18. During the run, they’re also slated to appear at the highly-anticipated Woodstock 50, the 50-year anniversary festival commemorating the 1969 event.
Over the weekend, the group, which consists of former members of The Greenhornes Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler, performed their first show in eight years in Nashville for Third Man Records’ 10 year anniversary. They performed alongside acts like Lillie Mae, The Gories, and Craig Brown Band. Following the gig, The Raconteurs are set to perform at a variety of summer festivals like London’s All Points East, Denmark’s Heartland, and Orange Warsaw Festival in Poland.
Help Us Stranger will drop on June 21 via Third Man Records. So far, they’ve released tracks “Sunday Driver” and “Now That You’re Gone.” The record will follow 2008’s Consolers of the Lonely, along with 2016 hit singles “Steady As She Goes” and “Store Bought Bones.”
