New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Nonesuch Records) The
Black Keys kick off the North American leg of their Turn Blue world tour with two stops in their home state of Ohio this weekend, with shows in Columbus tonight and Cleveland on Saturday. Special guests during the extensive tour include Cage The Elephant, Jake Bugg, and St. Vincent. The tour runs through December, with dates at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, Brooklyn's Barclays Center and Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, among others. (The Barclays Center dates are part of a celebration of their worldwide label's 50th anniversary at Brooklyn Academy of Music, Nonesuch Records at BAM: Celebrating a Label Without Labels.)
For the tour, longtime
Black Keys creative director Michael Carney has created his first-ever screen printed posters for the band, pictured above. The posters, which use two florescent inks and a custom mixed glow-in-the-dark yellow ink, are available at the merch stand along the way.
