Jack White Announces Surprise Acoustic Shows

After many years of performing in a multitude of configurations, Jack White is announcing that he will be taking a break from performing live for a long period of time.

To cap off an incredible run of shows promoting his latest album Lazaretto, and following what is shaping up to be a rollicking and fiery pair of headlining performances at this year's Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Jack will embark on a short acoustic tour of the only five states left in the US that he has yet to play.
