The Black Keys headline another festival, Edgefest 2012, in Dallas later this month before heading out for the next leg of their North American arena tour, featuring music from their latest Nonesuch album, El Camino. Special guests Arctic Monkeys return for that leg of the tour.
Amadou & Mariam's Lollapalooza set comes amidst the Malian duo's own North American tour, which so far includes previously announced stops in Boston, Montreal, and Minneapolis. Stay tuned for more dates to come.
