The Black Keys returned last week with “Lo/Hi”, their first new song in five years. Now, the rock duo of frontman Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney have declared their long-awaited return to the road.
Modest Mouse will serve as special guests throughout the 31-date “Let’s Rock Tour”, with select legs also featuring support from *repeat repeat, Jessy Wilson, and Shannon & the Clams. During The Black Keys’ hiatus, Auerbach formed his Easy Eye Sound record label, which released Shannon & The Clams’ fifth studio album, Onion, in February. *repeat repeat and Jessy Wilson have ties to Carney, who worked with both acts as a producer during the time off.

The Black Keys’ upcoming venture kicks off in September, following up a festival appearance at Las Vegas’ Life Is Beautiful using a brief leg across the Midwest with Modest Mouse and *repeat repeat. From there, the group joins with Jessy Wilson, who has been tapped for the tour’s Northeast leg in early October. After a few weeks off, the duo and Modest Mouse pick up in November for dates in the South and West Coast, with Shannon & the Clams in tow as service.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, March 22nd through the group ’s site . They’ll also be available here.
