Jack White has announced a wide-ranging 2026 headline tour that includes a run of UK and Ireland dates this summer, with two-night stands at London’s Eventim Apollo and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre among the highlights.
The UK and Ireland leg runs through late August and into September, taking in venues in Bristol, Newcastle and Belfast alongside the London and Dublin double headers. The newly confirmed dates form part of a colossal international schedule that also features a sprawling North American run from July through to November, plus a string of European festival headline slots in the spring.
Vault presales and artist presales for all newly announced North American, UK and Ireland dates begin Monday 13 April at 10am and 12pm local time respectively. General on-sale then follows on Friday 17 April at 10am local time. Full ticket and pre-sale registration details are available at laylo.com/jackwhite.
UK and Ireland dates:
- 25 August – London – Eventim Apollo
- 26 August – London – Eventim Apollo
- 28 August – Bristol – The Prospect Building
- 29 August – Newcastle – O2 City Hall
- 31 August – Belfast – The Telegraph Building
- 1 September – Dublin – 3Olympia Theatre
- 2 September – Dublin – 3Olympia Theatre
The tour news also comes alongside confirmation of a surprise appearance at this weekend’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California. White is set to open the Mojave Tent on Saturday 11 April at 3pm, a slot that has previously been filled by the likes of Ed Sheeran, Weezer and Arcade Fire in recent years.
The announcement follows last week’s release of two new tracks, “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” available now via Third Man Records on all streaming platforms. A black 7″ vinyl is on sale at thirdmanrecords.com and at Third Man shops in Nashville, Detroit and London, with wider independent record store availability also rolling out this week.
White and his longtime live band, comprising Patrick Keeler on drums, Dominic Davis on bass and Bobby Emmett on keys, debuted both tracks during a landmark sixth appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live last weekend. White then visited CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this week, where he sat down for an extended interview and recited an original poem, “Just Suppose to Juxtapose,” from his recently published anthology, Jack White Collected Lyrics and Selected Writing Volume 1.
The new music marks White’s first recordings since 2024, a year that saw the release of his critically acclaimed sixth studio album No Name. The record earned a 2025 GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Album and spawned two consecutive number one US radio hits in “That’s How I’m Feeling” and “Archbishop Harold Holmes.” Overall, White now has 46 GRAMMY nominations and 16 wins to his name, and was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Published in October 2025, Jack White Collected Lyrics and Selected Writing Volume 1 is edited by Third Man Records co-founder Ben Blackwell and features never-before-published poems, rare photos and new essays from Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet Adrian Matejka and Detroit-based filmmaker dream hampton. The book is available now at thirdmanbooks.com and at booksellers across the UK and the United States.
Support in Toronto on 14 July comes from microtonal space-time voyagers Angine de Poitrine, with additional special guests across other dates still to be announced.
