From the Promoter

evenko and Live Nation are thrilled to present The Black Keys at the Bell Centre on September 18th with special guests Cage The Elephant.

The Black Keys will embark on an extensive North American tour this fall. The tour begins Sept. 5 in Columbus and runs through December. The tour supports the duo’s highly anticipated new album, Turn Blue, which was released on May 13 on Nonesuch Records.

Produced by Danger Mouse, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, Turn Blue comprises 11 new tracks, including the first single, “Fever,” which is currently #1 on AAA radio for the fourth straight week and #2 on Alternative radio. Additionally, the album’s title track recently premiered on Carney’s SiriusXM show, Serious Boredom, and can be heard here.

Turn Blue was recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles during the summer of 2013 with additional recording done at the Key Club in Benton Harbor, MI and Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound in Nashville in early 2014. Of the new album, the band says Turn Blue could refer to:

A: Suffocation
B: Sadness
C: Numbness from extreme cold
D: A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi
E: All of the above

Carney also adds, “We are always trying to push ourselves when we make a record—not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either. On this record, we let the songs breathe and explored moods, textures and sounds.”

Don’t miss The Black Keys at the Bell Centre on September 18th.
