Rockstar Jack White surprises San Antonio with new show days away
Jack White announced some last-minute tour dates in Texas.
Jack White, formerly of the White Stripes, has surprised Austin with a new show date just days away. The solo artist will be playing Paper Tiger on Friday, November 15, and tickets go on sale Tuesday, November 12.
This is part of White's No Name Tour; the new portion starts in Tusla, Oklahoma, on November 12, and moves through Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio before moving on to Asia.
White will also perform the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City on November 17, where he is replacing Queens of the Stone Age as guitarist Josh Homme receives emergency medical attention. White was added to the lineup in September.
White became popular playing as a duo with his then-wife, who presented themselves in the White Stripes as siblings in the hopes of minimizing attention to their relationship and drawing it instead to the music.
The White Stripes disbanded in 2011, but have been making headlines again this week for dropping a copyright infringement lawsuit against Donald Trump for using the song "Seven Nation Army" while campaigning.
In his solo career, White has become known for songs like "Lazaretto," "Another Way to Die" (with Alicia Keys), and "Love Is Blindness," leaning into his signature gritty and sometimes chaotic sound that continues in the very bluesy 2024 album No Name.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday at 1 pm via See Tickets. Fans can RSVP in advance via Laylo. A limited number of student tickets ($25) will be available at the box office starting Friday at noon, and will be sold on a first-come first-served basis.
