General on sale begins this Friday, December 6. These shows will follow the previously announced Latin American tour dates. See below for details. The band also debuted a music video for "Sin City," the latest track from Ohio Players (Trophy Edition), the expanded version of their GRAMMY-nominated new album:
The Black Keys' European dates come just a year after their last overseas shows, which Mojo praised as an "electrifying testament to the power of rock'n'roll," and The Daily Telegraph described as "a thrilling clash of the indie rock titans." This is the band's first visit to Europe since the release of Ohio Players earlier this year.
Ohio Players is nominated for two GRAMMY Awards: Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for "Beautiful People (Stay High)," bringing their career total to an impressive eighteen nominations.
