American rock duo The Black Keys have just revealed plans for a 10-date tour across Canada.

Along with special guest acts, the announcement came as a surprise to fans on Monday morning. Not only will the Lonely Boy rockers show face in 10 different Canadian cities, but they’ll be joined by Saskatoon natives The Sheepdogs as well.

Additionally, it was revealed that The Black Keys will continue to promote their most recent, critically acclaimed album, Let’s Rock (2019).

Serving as opening act throughout the tour will be up-and-coming blues-rock band Early James — who will release their debut album, Singing For My Supper, in March.

The Black Keys are pleased to announce that the ‘Let’s Rock’ Tour is coming to Canada in May.
