Jack White, Who Turns 51 Today, Set to Launch North American Tour
Jack White is marking a notable milestone week, turning 51 on the day his new North American tour begins and days before his latest solo album is released. The tour opens on Thursday night at The Anthem in Washington, DC, and supports his new record, Frozen Charlotte, which is due out on Friday. The confluence of birthday, tour launch and album release makes it a significant moment for the former White Stripes frontman.
The tour spans 35 shows, running from July through to November 2026 and visiting cities including Brooklyn, Toronto (with support from Angine de Poitrine), Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Dallas, Phoenix, Charlotte, Orlando, Miami and Atlanta. Most tickets are largely sold out, though fans can check Ticketmaster's Verified Fan Exchange, and $20 student rush tickets will be available at each venue's box office from 5:00pm on show days; the concerts are also phone-free. Consequence's Wren Graves reviewed the album as a riff-driven, guitar-focused collection drawing on blues, garage rock and humour, calling it one of White's most revealing solo works.
