The Black Keys Launch Tour in Europe
The Black Keys are in Antwerp, Belgium, tonight to launch their 2012 tour featuring music from their latest album,
El Camino, which debuted at No. 2 on the
Billboard charts when it was released on Nonesuch Records last month. The European leg of the tour will take the band from Belgium to France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK, over the next three weeks. The band begins its North American arena tour on March 2 at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati and will feature sold-out shows at Chicago’s United Center, DC’s Verizon Center, and two nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden followed by a second batch of dates in April, including shows at Austin’s Frank Erwin Center and Seattle’s Key Arena; special guests Arctic Monkeys open on the tour. The Black Keys will also headline two Friday nights at Coachella. See below for all the scheduled tour dates and go to
