On Monday, The Raconteurs (finally) announced a North American tour in support of their recently-announced album, Help Us Stranger, due out on June 21st via Third Man Records.

The Raconteurs consist of Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler, and have been largely inactive since 2012. The new record will mark the Grammy Award-winners’ first album release in more than a decade, serving as a follow-up to 2008’s Consolers of the Lonely.

Over the weekend, The Raconteurs headlined Jack White‘s Third Man Records‘ 10th-anniversary celebration in Nashville, TN, marking the quartet’s first live performance since 2011. The Raconteurs offered up the live debuts of “Bored and Razed”,  “Sunday Driver”, “Help Me Stranger”, and “Now That You’re Gone”, as well as a debut re-worked cover of Donovan‘s “Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)”, all of which will appear on the band’s forthcoming Help Us Stranger release.

The Raconteurs have shared a recording of their cover of Donovan’s “Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)”, which was unveiled as part of the launch of Third Man Records’ new Bandcamp page. Listen to The Raconteurs take on “Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)” below:

In addition to previously-announced U.S. festival appearances at Woodstock 50 and Railbird, as well as an upcoming international tour, The Raconteurs have confirmed new North American dates that will span from July through October, highlighted by multi-night runs at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA (8/21-22); Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN (8/29-30); and Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, OK (10/13-14).

Tickets to the North American headline dates go on-sale to the general public on Friday, April 12th at 10 a.m. local time.
