The Black Keys have announced a new collection of US tour dates after cancelling the entirely of their 2024 North American trek – see the full list of dates below.
In June, the band took to social media to claim they were “fucked” after their North American tour was cancelled and they split from their management. They were due to play their ‘International Players Tour’ in the US and Canada from September to November, but it was reported that the entire run of gigs had been abruptly scrapped, with no explanation provided.
Amidst speculation that the cancellation was due to low ticket sales, the band opened up about the tour, saying it was axed and re-planned in favour of smaller theatre venues as featured on their 2024 European tour.
Now, the band are looking to hit the road across the United States once again, and have announced a new tour that will kick off in May. Dubbed the No Rain, No Flowers tour, The Black Keys will be supported by Hermanos Gutierrez and The Heavy Heavy.
The tour will see them perform across cities like Durant, Colorado Springs, Boise, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Texas, Raleigh and more. Pre-sale tickets will be available via The Black Keys’ website at 12pm local time today (February 4) using the code “NORAIN”.
General tickets will go on sale on February 7 at 10am local time and can be purchased via Ticketmaster.

In a three-star review of The Black Keys’ latest album ‘Ohio Players’, NME nodded to its litany of guest stars, including Beck, Noel Gallagher and Juicy J, and wrote: “Playing music with your pals isn’t a radical act – it’s what most musicians do and the bedrock of any scene in any city the world over – so given the fanfare the listener might reasonably expect ‘Ohio Players’ to hum along on the star-wattage of its guest list.
“Instead, this is a pretty good Black Keys record that chiefly serves to underline how wedded they are to the fundamentals of their own process.”
Patrick Carney, one half of the duo, spoke to NME last year and recalled their time working with the “incredible” Noel Gallagher in the studio. “He’s hilarious and super talented,” he said. “We were referring to him as ‘The Chord Lord’ because he’s just a perfectionist with it.”
The rapper also revealed how she handles getting rid of gifts from "certain exes."
PlaqueBoyMax is generally a big fan of NBA YoungBoy's music, but he drew YB's ire for not liking a particular "Slime Cry" album cut.
The spokesperson said the pop star was simply telling a story to her table.
