The Raconteurs will hit the road for a North American tour later this year in support of their forthcoming album Help Us Stranger. The quartet consisting of Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler — who returned to the stage on Saturday for the first time since 2011 — scheduled North American dates spanning July through October. Help Us Stranger is due out June 21 via Third Man Records.
Up first for the band is a performance at Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit on July 12. From there, The Raconteurs make stops in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Seattle, Vancouver, Troutdale (Oregon), Oakland, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego over the remainder of July. The four-piece returns to the road in August for an appearance at the inaugural Railbird Festival in Lexington, Kentucky on August 10 followed by stops in Knoxville, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Cleveland leading up to a set at Woodstock 50 in Watkins Glen, New York. Next up are visits to Charlotte, Columbia (South Carolina), Atlanta and Nashville to end the month.
The Raconteurs’ tour continues into August with performances in Raleigh, New York City, Boston, Toronto and Columbus. In October, the tour is set to conclude after concerts in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City and St. Louis. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
