On Friday, Nov. 8, the Recording Academy named Jack White’s enigmatic and acclaimed 2024 album No Name as a nominee for Best Rock Album at the 67th Grammy Awards. To celebrate this most recent milestone in a long and storied career, the legendary garage rock figurehead has announced a massive No Name world tour, set to bring the artist and his latest work to 50 engagements through the end of May. The No Name global headline run follows the album’s mysterious guerilla release in July and wider reveal in August, as well as a run of small theater showings across the country initially billed as the only engagements the artist would make with the new project.

White’s No Name Tour formally begins on December 1 with a previously announced performance at Hong Kong’s Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival. From this outset and a follow-up in Vietnam on Dec. 2, the artist will launch into a six-show run through Australia from Dec. 5 to 13 before closing out the first leg with a set at Auckland, New Zealand’s Auckland Town Hall on Dec. 17.

The iconic signer-songwriter and guitarist will begin his North American dates in February, following a three-night run in Toronto, Ontario on Feb. 6-8 with shows at Brooklyn, N.Y.’s Kings Theatre and Brooklyn Paramount on Feb. 11 and 12. After a pair at Boston’s Roadrunner on Feb. 17 and 18, White will return to Asia for five performances in Japan from March 10-17.

White will settle in for the bulk of his tour in April, kicking off a series of 29 engagements across North America with an April 3 show at St Louis’ The Factory. White will continue through the Midwest with appearances in Kansas City, Mo., Omaha, Neb., and pairs at St. Paul, Minn.’s Palace Theatre on April 7 and 8 and Chicago’s The Salt Shed on April 10 and 11. The rock revolutionary will return to his home of Motor City for shows at the beloved Masonic Temple Theatre on April 12 and 13, then pass through Grand Rapids, Mich. and Cleveland en route to a double-header at The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tenn. on April 18 and 19.

Following a few weeks off, White will return to the road with two shows at Austin, Texas’ ACL Live at Moody Theater. The Raconteur will then barrel on through Dallas to take the stage at Denver’s Mission Ballroom on May 8 and 9, leading into a May 10 show in Salt Lake City. White’s West Coast run begins with a two-night booking at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium on May 12 and 13, then continues through Santa Barbara, Calif., Oakland, Calif. and San Francisco before another pair at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre on May 19 and 20. After two nights at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom on May 22 and 23, White will conclude his tour in Troutdale, Ore. on May 24.

Back in August, White addressed demand for a return to the road with a characteristically off-kilter message to his Instagram followers. “ Lotta folks asking about when we are going to announce ‘tour dates,’ well, we don’t know what to tell you but the tour already started at the Legion a couple of weeks ago,” he wrote. “People keep saying that these are ‘Pop up shows’ we’ve been playing, well, you can call them whatever you want, but we are on tour right now. These are the ‘shows.’” Though hopefully the artist found the time to “walk through orchard fields and grab apples off of trees at will and fill my belly full of that fruit if the desire strikes me,” we’re glad to have the chance to properly honor his latest project.
