The Black Keys are on tour for the upcoming 2012 concert season! Guitarist and lead singer Dan Auerback and drummer Patrick Carney will be headlining their first arena tour of North America. This is truly a momentous occasion for the blues-rock duo, a level of popularity that has been a decade on the making. OnlineSeats has the Black Keys tickets to enjoy the El Camino tour in person.
The Black Keys tour begins with a show on March 2, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio at the U.S. Bank Arena and ends on March 24, 2012 in Charlotte, NC at the Bojangle Arena. In between, the garage rock blood brothers will be performing at 14 major venues throughout the United States and Canada.
The tour is not officially known as the El Camino tour, but that is how fans will think of the upcoming concert schedule. El Camino is the seventh studio album from the Black Keys. It became available for the rabid fans on December 6, 2011 and will debut near the top of the charts and be the second Black Keys album to be certified in the United States. So far the group has released one single from the album, "Lonely Boys". "Lonely Boys" topped the Billboard Alternative Songs charts and reached number 69 on the Billboard 200.
The Black Keys new album is the third to utilize the studio controller talents of Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse. It delivers a pop blues-rock album that remains pleasing to the ear, yet manages to keep the original spirit alive with Auerback's signature blues growl. This should be a pleasing album for all Black Keys fans, old or new.
