Jack White is back in some style in 2022. The guitarist has revealed plans to play a string of huge shows across the US, EU and UK throughout a five-month period beginning in April next year.
The shows will kick off with two nights at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, White’s hometown on April 8 and 9, before touring a selection of large venues throughout the US and then heading to Europe for most of June and July.
The tour announcement follows news that White will release two new albums next year, Fear Of The Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive, in April and July, respectively.
Even considering the pandemic, the flurry of activity follows an uncharacteristically quiet period from White, who is known as a prolific, spontaneous writer, but has not released an album since 2018.
The tour name – Supply Chain Issues – seems like a knowing nod to many of the pandemic-induced shortages and problems across the last few years. However, as the head honcho of Third Man Records, we suspect the much-publicised meltdown in vinyl production – where demand is now thought to exceed supply by 40% – to be a key influence in White’s thinking.
Those particular supply chain issues have led to huge delays in releases, or at least their physical counterparts, and even many bigger (and more profitable) artists have often been forced to wait six months for pressings. Given White is a renowned vinyl champion, it would explain the bottleneck in his releases and the long lead time on these announcements.
Whatever the reason, though, we’re glad to have White back and performing at any venue that’s bigger than Damien Hirst’s balcony.
