The Black Keys launch an arena tour of the western US in Fresno, California, tonight, including stops at the famed Santa Barbara Bowl, the Staples Center in LA, and in Arizona and New Mexico. Tegan and Sara open. Just announced: The Black Keys will headline Lollapalooza Brazil and Lollapalooza Chile next year. At the Global Festival this past Saturday, the band "tore through a set of searing, hard-riffing rock," raves MTV, "one that had the 60,000 who packed Central Park's Great Lawn losing their collective minds."

The Black Keys launch an arena tour of the western United States with a performance at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, tonight. The new leg of the tour includes stops throughout California, including a show at the famed Santa Barbara Bowl tomorrow night, two shows at the Staples Center in Los Angeles this coming weekend, and stops in Arizona and New Mexico. Tegan and Sara join the tour as support.

The Black Keys head next to Austin, where they will headline the first night of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Mexico City for the Corona Capital Festival, and then to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, before closing out the year with two shows at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas for New Year's. See below for all of this year's upcoming tour dates. And two special dates have just been announced for 2013: the band will headline Lollapalooza Brazil in March and Lollapalooza Chile in April.

This latest leg of The Black Keys' international tour comes just days after the band joined Neil Young with Crazy Horse and Foo Fighters as headliners of The Global Poverty Project's Global Festival 2012, which culminated in a free concert for more than 60,000 people on the Great Lawn of New York's Central Park on Saturday. Band of Horses, K’Naan, and John Legend performed as well.

The Daily News says The Black Keys "stripped guitar rock down to its essence, for a set that maintained a sexy, low-down swing." MTV says the band "tore through a set of searing, hard-riffing rock, one that had the 60,000 who packed Central Park's Great Lawn losing their collective minds."

The night closed with a bang when members of all three headline bands came together on stage to perform a stellar, extended rendition of Young's anthem "Rockin' in the Free World."
