After scrapping 2024 tour, The Black Keys are coming to Minneapolis in 2025
Rock duo The Black Keys are coming back to Minneapolis, but this time at a slightly smaller venue than the one booked for last year's tour, which was ultimately canceled.
The band has added a "No Rain, No Flowers" tour stop at The Armory on Saturday, Sept. 6, along with The Heavy Heavy as the opening act. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., and pre-sale tickets are available as of Tuesday via Ticketmaster. You can sign up with the Lonely Boys and Girls Club on the band's website to receive a presale code.
The duo consisting of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney were originally scheduled to bring their "International Players Tour" to Target Center on Nov. 10.
Fans cited ticket availability data to suggest that low sales caused the abrupt cancellations. Others also suggested that high ticket prices contributed to the allegedly low sales.
The band said in a statement the plan was to launch a new tour focusing on "more intimate settings."The Armory stop will be the first for the band in the state since they brought their "Dropout Boogie Tour" to the Minnesota State Fair in 2023. They previously played a Target Center show on Sept. 28, 2019.
The Black Keys are coming off their 12th studio album release, Ohio Players, and are set to debut a new single on Friday, "Babygirl" after dropping another new track last month, titled "The Night Before."
