The Black Keys’ European dates come just a year after their last overseas shows, which Mojo praised as an “electrifying testament to the power of rock’n’roll,” and the Daily Telegraph described as “a thrilling clash of the indie rock titans.”This is the band’s first visit to Europe since the release of their GRAMMY-nominated Ohio Players earlier this year.
Last month, The Black Keys released Ohio Players (Trophy Edition), an expanded version of that album, which earned GRAMMY nominations for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for “Beautiful People (Stay High)”—bringing their career total to an impressive 18 nominations.
As previously announced, The Black Keys will also take the stage at Innings Festival Arizona on February 22, joining acts such as Fall Out Boy, The Killers, Beck, and more. The Black Keys then head to Latin America in the spring of 2025, bringing their International PlayersTour to Lima, Peru; Estereo Picnic festival in Bogota, Colombia; and Mexico City. Additionally, the band has just added a new date to their Latin American International Players Tour and will perform on April 5 at the Tecate Pa’l Norte Music Festival in Monterrey, Mexico.

Upon release in April 2024, The Black Keys secured the #1 Current Rock Album and #1 Current Alternative Album in US sales with their twelfth studio album Ohio Players. The album soared to the #5 debut of the week on both Billboard’s Top Rock Albums Chart and Top Alternative Albums Chart and secured the #4 spot on Overall Current Album Sales. Ohio Players earned The Black Keys their sixth consecutive top 20 album in the UK, and also made it into the top 20 in other international markets such as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more. The album track “Beautiful People (Stay High”) was recently nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song Grammy Awards.
Ohio Players, which was inspired by band members Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney’s ongoing “record hang” parties, garnered praise from Rolling Stone, which stated, “Whether they set their retro-rock wayback machine to Memphis in the Sixties, the Midwest in the Seventies, or Manchester, England, and L.A. in the Nineties, it all flows together like a beautifully paced DJ set,” calling the album “arguably the sharpest collection of songs the Keys have come up with.” Ohio Players marked an exciting departure from The Black Keys’ prior releases, as the album brings in new and fresh influences while also still containing the widely loved sound that the duo is most known for. With an emphasis on collaboration, the album features contributions from friends and colleagues, including Beck, Noel Gallagher, Dan “The Automator” Nakamura, Greg Kurstin, Juicy J, Lil Noid, and others.
