The Black Keys announce their World Tour of America. The band will perform three intimate shows in Oxford, MS, Athens, GA, and St Petersburg, FL, surrounding their performance at Pilgrimage Fest in Tennessee in late September with special guest Robert Finley.
A portion of each set will consist of songs from the band’s new album, Delta Kream. Patrick said of these dates, which the band hopes to make a tradition: “Dan 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. 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.”
Presale for members of the Lonely Boys and Girls Club starts tomorrow at 10 am local time. Log in to your account for your presale password. General on-sale begins Friday, July 23 at 10 am local time at theblackkeys.com

The album celebrates the band’s roots and features eleven Mississippi hill country blues songs by R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, among others.
Recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studio in Nashville, the album takes its name from William Eggleston’s iconic Mississippi photograph that is on its cover.
Delta Kream features musicians Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton, long-time members of the bands of blues legends including R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, and Sam Bacco on auxiliary percussion.
