Rock turned blues band The Black Keys announced their ironically titled 2021 tour, “World Tour of America.” The three-dates-tour will start on September 20th at the Classic Center in Athens, GA (not Greece), the tour will then travel to St. Petersburg, Florida, not to bed confused with Russia. The last day of the tour is September 23rd in Oxford, Mississippi. It is obvious that there’s a certain theme to this tour. The band will then shortly after play at the Pilgrimage festival in Tennessee. The lineup for the festival will also include, Maren Morris, Cage The Elephant and others.
In their press release the band explains that they will play songs from various albums, including their newest blues album Delta Kream. Before the release of their album in May, the band shared their cover version of R.L. Burnside’s “Goin’ Down South,” as teaser for their album. Last week, Dan Auerbach shared the news of his upcoming documentary about the life of musician Dr. John.
