The Raconteurs Add North American Headlining Dates

After announcing their new album Help Us Stranger, (out June 21 via Third Man Records), The Raconteurs —Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler—have announced an extensive run of North American headline tour dates. Spanning from July to October, the tour will include previously-announced US festival appearances at Woodstock 50 and Railbird. The band will kick off their world tour with their first trip to Australia and New Zealand later this month, as well as stops in Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom before returning to the US for their North American tour.

The tour includes two shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, set for Aug. 29-30.
