The Black Keys Announce 2024 'International Players Tour' Of North America

The Black Keys will take their upcoming album Ohio Players across North America on the International Players Tour this fall. The trek from former garage rock revivalists-turned Top 40 mainstays Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will support the band’s album out on Friday (the same day tickets go on sale).

The 31-date North American tour will kick off on September 17th in Tulsa, OK. For the next two months, The Black Keys will traverse the continent playing shows in Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, and more. The Akron-bred duo will play two shows in their home state of Ohio—October 12th in Cleveland and October 24th in Columbus—and plenty of other cities before the tour wraps on November 12th in Detroit. The Head And The Heart will provide opening support on most dates.

Tickets for The Black Keys’ International Players Tour will go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 5th at 10 a.m. local time. American Express cardmembers will have first access to tickets via a pre-sale set to run from Tuesday, April 2nd at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, April 4th at 10 p.m. local time. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week. Visit Live Nation and The Black Keys‘ websites for additional information. See below for a detailed list of tour dates.

Ohio Players marks The Black Keys’ 12th album overall and first since Dropout Boogie in 2022. The 14-track LP hears the duo collaborate with a varied roster of contemporaries including Beck, Noel Gallagher, Greg Kurstin, Juicy J, and more.

“We had this epiphany: ‘We can call our friends to help us make music.’ It’s funny because we both write songs with other people—Dan all the time [as a solo artist and producer], me when I’m producing a record. That’s what we do,” drummer Patrick Carney said of the album. “What we wanted to accomplish with this record was make something that was fun. And something that most bands 20 years into their career don’t make, which is an approachable, fun record that is also cool.”
