Jack White's the Dead Weather Announce North American Tour

BY Brock ThiessenPublished May 11, 2009

After debuting the Dead Weather only two months ago, Jack White has announced his new band are hitting the road. As promised, the White Stripe's new project with the Kills' Alison Mosshart will be trekking across North America this summer, making several stops in the U.S. and some here in Canada as well.

The dates come as the Dead Weather prepare to release their upcoming debut full-length, Horehound, on July 14 via White's Third Man label, and following the group's recently released seven-inch, Hang You From the Heavens. As previously reported, word of the tour also comes in the wake of news that Jack is again pairing up with Meg for another White Stripes album, which is due for release sometime next year.

"We had recorded a couple of songs at the new studio," White told Music Radar of the new, yet-untitled White Stripes album. "I talked to her about coming by when I was done in the summer rehearsing with the Dead Weather - I won't be done in the summer touring with them, but after the summer jaunt."
