The Black Keys announce North American tour with Arctic Monkeys

by Nicole Villeneuve

The Black Keys are set to release their new album El Camino on Tuesday, and they’ve just announced a whack of tour dates in support of it, once its out, for real, and everyone hears it, which they haven’t already because we don’t do that sort of thing, right music fans?

The tour is taking them to the stages of big ol’ arenas, including Montreal’s Bell Centre on March 13, and Toronto’s Air Canada Centre the next day on March 14.

They’ll be bringing the Arctic Monkeys along with them on the bottom chunk of these dates, meaning that’s who we’ll see as support on the Canadian dates. Check out the full tour schedule below.
