The Black Keys reveal revamped US tour details
t in a teaser video featuring a fabricated weather report, the band is embarking on the No Rain No Flowers tour, commencing on May 23 in Durant, Oklahoma. This tour comes as a replacement for The Black Keys’ scheduled 2024 U.S. arena tour, which had to be canceled. The band revealed that instead of the large arena shows, they wanted to create an “exciting, intimate experience for both fans and the band.” This shift in plans led to the development of the No Rain No Flowers tour.
The No Rain No Flowers tour will see The Black Keys perform in smaller venues in various cities such as Boise, Idaho; Bend, Oregon; and Wilmington, North Carolina. The tour will conclude on June 14 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. While the venues are smaller, there are still some notable locations on the tour, including the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. Tickets for the tour will be available for purchase starting this Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For a complete list of tour dates and ticket information, fans can visit TheBlackKeys.com.
Aside from the tour, fans can also anticipate the release of a new single by The Black Keys titled “The Night Before,” which is set to drop this Friday. Furthermore, the band is gearing up to unveil a new album later in 2025. Drummer Patrick Carney shared some insights into the band’s creative process following the canceled tour. He mentioned that after facing disappointment, the band collectively agreed that they needed to keep moving forward. Carney highlighted the importance of resilience by stating, “S*** happens, and you just have to move through it.” Despite the setback, The Black Keys were in the midst of a creative streak, motivating them to head back into the studio and dive back into their work. This decision ultimately led to the inception of the upcoming album.
In conclusion, The Black Keys’ No Rain No Flowers tour is a testament to the band’s adaptability in the face of adversity. By transforming a challenging situation into an opportunity for innovation and intimacy, the band is set to bring their music to a diverse array of venues across the U.S. Fans can not only look forward to experiencing their favorite band in a unique setting but also anticipate the release of new music in the near future.
