The Black Keys Announce Vancouver Concert on Peaches 'N' Kream World Tour
Grammy-winning blues-rock duo The Black Keys have officially announced that they will bring their highly anticipated Peaches 'N' Kream World Tour to Vancouver this spring. The concert is scheduled for May 31 at Rogers Arena, marking a significant stop on the Canadian leg of their international tour.
Tour Details and Album Release
The tour will launch on April 24 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with the Vancouver date serving as the kickoff for the Canadian segment. This follows their successful No Rain, No Flowers tour last year, which saw the band sell over 250,000 tickets and sell out iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
Coinciding with the tour, the duo's 14th studio album, Peaches!, is set for release on May 1 via Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records. Auerbach has described this new recording as one of the band's most natural records since their acclaimed 2002 debut, The Big Come Up.
New Single and Musical Heritage
The band recently released the single You Got to Lose, a cover of the Earl Hooker song that was popularized by George Thorogood and the Destroyers in 1977. This blues classic has been reinterpreted by numerous rock bands over the decades, and The Black Keys' version captures the raw, energetic spirit of their new album. The accompanying video was filmed at a surprise show at Hernando's Hide-A-Way in Memphis, highlighting the duo's roots in authentic, gritty performances.
Vancouver Connection and Past Performances
Longtime Vancouver fans will remember The Black Keys' early days, when they played at now-closed venues like the Piccadilly Pub presented by Fireball. They were part of a vibrant wave of roots and garage-rock bands that dominated the indie music scene, sharing stages with acts such as:
