A Magic tour: The Black Keys announce UK dates

With this writer's stereo currently playing and replaying The Magic Potion, it makes Michael a very happy boy indeed to hear that its makers The Black Keys are to tour Britain in September/October to promote said album's official UK release.

The Akron-spawned blues-punk duo play the following dates...

September
25 Dublin Music Centre
26 Glasgow ABC
27 Newcastle University
28 Leeds Cockpit
30 Birmingham Academy 2

October
1 Bristol University
2 Manchester University 2
4 London Forum

The Magic Potion, the pair's fourth long-player, is released over here through V2 on September 4. It's pretty freakin' sweeeeet.

going to the acadamy 2 to see this one!

saw this on planet sound and assumed

they'd made a typo. didn't think the black keys would be in the main abc hall, but guess they must be, since all the other 2's are clear to see.

they

may well book it in the big one and then move it down depending on sales. like they did for silver mt zion. so i didnt get a ticket. gah.

Black Keys

Saw them in Chicago last weekend at the Taste of Randolph Street Festival and they were awesome. Kicked ass and took no names.

They also opened for Radiohead two nights earlier this month but I wasn't going to pay to see one of my favorite bands open for lamers like Radiohead. Good luck in England, it's a great show.
