The Black Keys firm up dates with The Flaming Lips
Rock duo The Black Keys will continue its push behind "El Camino" with a handful of U.S. gigs alongside The Flaming Lips.
Akron, OH natives Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will first complete four South American concerts before returning to the States and hitting the stage April 28 in Kansas City, MO. Stops are also confirmed in Pittsburgh, PA (4/30); Atlanta, GA (5/2); and Nashville, TN (5/3).
All four U.S. dates will feature Oklahoma experimental-rockers The Flaming Lips.
Ticketing information for all shows is available at The Black Keys' website.
"El Camino," the duo's seventh studio effort, hit retailers in December 2011 via Nonesuch Records. The 11-track set includes the lead single, "Lonely Boy," which peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. The album itself reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
The Black Keys, who have spent much of the last year on the tour trail, won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album for 2010's "Brothers," which sold 73,000 copies the week of its release.
