LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — The Black Keys announced that their upcoming North American run has been postponed amid reports of slow ticket sales.
In a post shared on their social media outlets, a rep for The Black Keys said: Following the recent run of shows in the UK & Europe, including stops at iconic venues like Brixton Academy and the Zenith in Paris, we have decided to make some changes to the North American leg of the International Players Tour that will enable us to offer a similarly exciting, intimate experience for both fans and the band, and will be announcing a revised set of dates shortly.
The tour, which featured support from The Head and The Heart, was slated to get underway in September with shows scheduled at arenas across the U.S. through November 12th when the tour was set to wrap at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
According to a statement from the band, fans who did purchase tickets will receive a refund and will be offered a chance to secure passes for the rescheduled tour when it goes on sale.
“Thank you for your understanding and apologies for the surprise change… We’re pretty sure everyone is going to be excited when you see what we have in mind though, and look forward to seeing everyone soon,” the statement concluded.
The Black Keys, comprised of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, were planning to tour in support of their latest album, Ohio Players.
