#The Black Keys Announce 3-Show “World Tour of America”

The Black Keys have announced a tour in support of their new album Delta Kream. The tour consists of just three intimate shows and is playfully called the “World Tour of America.” The duo will play the World Tour with guitarist Robert Finley. After the World Tour, the Black Keys will perform at Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival in Franklin, Tennessee. Check out the group’s schedule below.

“Dan [Auerbach] and I have joked about doing a tour of American cities named after other cities in the world since we were touring together in a van,” drummer Patrick Carney said in a press release. (Athens, Georgia and Greece; St. Petersburg, Florida and Russia; Oxford, Mississippi and England. Get it?) “It feels like now is as good a time as any, and we are excited to play in some places we haven’t played since the early days of the band and for fans that have not had a chance to see us in a while.”

Along with the tour news, the Black Keys have announced that they’re partnering with the Save the Music Foundation to support elementary and middle school music programs in Mississippi. “The goal is to grow music programs across the state, starting this coming school year with Holly Springs,” the band said.
