Who are The Black Keys?
The Black Keys are an American rock duo formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001 by Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. They rose from the independent scene with self-produced records cut in basements.
Brothers and El Camino took them to a mass audience, and songs such as Tighten Up, Lonely Boy and Gold on the Ceiling put them at the front of the garage rock revival. On stage extra musicians join the duo, and their raw, blues-rooted sound gets even heavier live.

A two-piece band's arena sound
The Black Keys may be a duo on record, but on stage extra guitar, bass and keyboard players create a fuller sound, heard most evenly from central blocks facing the stage.
The floor is for feeling the riffs up close, though the front can be packed at rock shows. Choose a reserved tier if you want to watch in comfort.
US, UK or a festival
US arena and amphitheatre dates deliver the full tour production. In Europe, festival headline slots and big-city shows such as London stand out.
Compare the total trip cost before deciding.

Planning a trip to see The Black Keys
Secure the official The Black Keys ticket before booking a non-refundable flight. Aim to arrive no later than the day before the show and stay somewhere with a reliable late route back from the venue.
Compare at least two cities using the full cost of the ticket, flight, two nights of accommodation and post-show transport. A cheaper ticket can still produce the more expensive trip.
Keep planning
