Shortly after the announcement of their comeback album Help Us Stranger, The Raconteurs are giving fans another reason to be happy this year with today’s announcement of a North American tour. Their headline tour in support of the new album will see Jack White and the crew hit the road from July to October.
Tickets to the North American headline dates go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 12 at 10am local time. Third Man Records Vault members will have access to the very first pre-sale starting on Tuesday, April 9 at 10am local time, running through Thursday, April 11 at 10pm local time. Sign up for Vault Package #40, which features an exclusive limited edition version of HELP US STRANGER on electric green/black/copper swirled vinyl and Vault-only lenticular cover art, and to gain ticket pre-sale access FIRST here.
I’ve got to say I’m pretty bummed there’s no Chicago date here. I saw Jack White headline Lolla last year, but I could sure use some Raconteurs in my life. The rest of the surrounding big cities got a date, so what’s up with that? The only thing I’m banking on at this point is a slot on this year’s Riot Fest…
