Jack White lit up the internet and our airwaves last week with the release of an engaging soulful new song ‘Connected by Love’ off his upcoming album ‘Boarding House Research’ which comes out March 23rd. Today, the Detroit rock maverick announced a North American tour which has our fair city omitted.
White will roll across North America and hit up Europe, then return to do another leg of dates in the States. The very provocative and curious omission of Chicago on tour, combined with the fact that White is playing Minnesota on August 6th. That’s an day trip from Chicago’s Grant Park which hosts THE festival, Lollapalooza from August 2nd to the 5th. So connect those big glowing dots for yourself. We are not alone here as our buds Consequence of Sound are also making this assumption, and they note White is already confirmed to headline the Shakey Kneess fest in Atlanta and Governor’s Ball in New York this year.
If you want to make a trip to other midwest cities, White will be in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Milwaukee in April.
Now maybe this a reach, but a guy can dream a big dream!
There may still be slushy puddles and frozen car doors throughout Chicagoland right now, but ideas like this gives us something to look forward to the sun-kissed masses shaking asses on our lakefront at Lolla.
