The Black Keys have officially nixed their upcoming North American tour possibly due to low ticket sales, but we are not sure. They scrapped the plans for such a massive tour that the duo decided to go down a more intimate route in support of their new album Ohio Players. The band did make a statement though:
The band wants to assure everyone that Dan & Patrick are alive and well.
Following the recent run of shows in the UK & Europe, including stops at iconic venues like Brixton Academy and the Zenith in Paris, we have decided to make some changes to the North American leg of the International Players Tour that will enable us to offer a similarly exciting, intimate experience for both fans and the band, and will be announcing a revised set of dates shortly.
Everyone who had purchased tickets and/or VIP to the initial tour dates will be fully refunded – and when the new plans are announced, will be the first to be able to buy tickets.
Thank you for your understanding and apologies for the surprise change… We’re pretty sure everyone is going to be excited when you see what we have in mind though, and look forward to seeing everyone soon.
