In a statement issued through venues scheduled on Jack White‘s upcoming tour, the rocker banned all cell phones during shows.“No photos, video or audio recording devices allowed,” the statement reads. “We think you’ll enjoy looking up from your gadgets for a little while and experience music and our shared love of it IN PERSON.”

Using the same technology used by performers like Dave Chappelle in the past, made by Yondr, Each person will be issued a pouch for their phone that locks while they are inside the venue, allowing them to keep their phone on their person while blocking them from using it inside the theater. As the statement continues, “You keep your pouch-secured phone on you during the show, and, if needed, can unlock your phone at any time in a designated Yondr Phone Zone located in the lobby or concourse.” Fans will be able to access photos of the performances via Jack White’s official tour photographer via jackwhiteiii.com, or by following the newly launched Instagram account, @officialjackwhitelive.

White has long been vocal about wanting fans to stay off their phones during shows and devote their undivided attention to the experience. Below, you can watch Jack White on Conan speaking about why he feels fans should leave their phones in their pockets at shows via Team Coco:
