Grammy-winning rock duo The Black Keys announced the second US leg of their “No Rain, No Flowers Tour” kicking off on August 9th in New Jersey and continuing through major cities and iconic venues including Forest Hills Stadium in New York and Blossom Music Center in the band’s home state of Ohio. Four-time GRAMMY award-winning American guitarist Gary Clark Jr. is set to support with The Heavy Heavy returning for select dates as well. The leg two announcement follows the incredible demand from fans, which saw multiple shows sell out within the first week of on sale for leg one.

Along with the first leg tour announcement last month, The Black Keys released the light and groovy new track “The Night Before” via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records – listen here and watch the official music video here. The single had an explosive start at radio both in the US and internationally, being #1 most added at Alternative and Triple A radio formats and currently sitting within Top 10 of both charts.
“The Night Before” is the first single released from The Black Keys’ 13th studio album, No Rain, No Flowers, coming later this year via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records. No Rain, No Flowers is an especially personal project for the Black Keys, and sees the band craft its most ambitious and adventurous album yet, braiding together the pair’s sprawling, eclectic musical influences. They’ll continue to bring their revitalized energy to their tour where they pull from their critically acclaimed two-decade deep catalog.

Cutting their teeth playing small clubs, the band has gone on to sell out arena tours and has released twelve previous studio albums: the debut The Big Come Up (2002), followed by Thickfreakness (2003) and Rubber Factory (2004), along with their releases on Nonesuch Records: Magic Potion (2006), Attack & Release (2008), Brothers (2010), El Camino (2011), Turn Blue (2014), “Let’s Rock” (2019), Delta Kream (2021), Dropout Boogie (2022) and Ohio Players (2024).The band has won six Grammy Awards, a BRIT Award and headlined festivals in North America, South America, Mexico, Australia, and Europe.
About Gary Clark Jr.:
Clark achieved global impact following his first Grammy Award in 2014, winning Best Traditional R&B Performance for the track “Please Come Home” from his Warner Records debut album Blak And Blu, and seemingly never left the road. 2015’s The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim wrought hard-won international acclaim as a critical force to be reckoned with. In 2019, Clark ascended to greater heights with the release of his third full-length studio album This Land, winning him three more Grammy Awards, including Best Contemporary Blues Album as well as Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for title track “This Land.” Clark’s domestic tours became instant sell-outs and his international profile found him topping bills at legendary festivals and venues around the world. Clark has just completed his fourth and most compelling body of work to date, titled JPEG RAW, out now via Warner Records. Gary Clark Jr. by Mike Miller.
