The Black Keys Announce 2022 Tour
The Black Keys have announced details of their ‘Dropout Boogie’ US tour – the duo’s first outing since their 2019 studio album Let’s Rock.
Band of Horses will be supporting on all 32 dates of the expansive North American tour, with Ceramic Animal, Early James, and the Velveteers opening select performances.
The Live Nation produced tour kicks off July 9 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The Dropout Boogie tour will also be the band’s first dates following the release of their Grammy-nominated blues album Delta Kream last year.
Speaking to NME in May 2021 singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney shared that they created the album accidentally.
“I was just having such a good time making music with those guys that I called Pat [Carney, Black Keys drummer] up to see what he was doing,” explained Auerbach. “He cleared up his day and came over the next afternoon.”
“We were doing all these songs from memory,” added Auerbach of the intense session. “We just recorded this stuff for fun. We never even thought about it as being an album.”
Last year, The Black Keys celebrated the 10th anniversary of their renowned album El Camino with an expanded reissue. The record, which features some of the band’s biggest hits like ‘Lonely Boy’ and ‘Gold On The Ceiling’, was originally released on December 6, 2011.
Meanwhile, on March 4th, Band of Horses will return with their first new record in five years, Things Are Great.
