White posted the full list of the artists that will open for him on the tour on Friday, confirming that the opening night will see him joined by garage punk duo Human Toys, who will be playing in their hometown. Formed in 2006, they released the tight, bluesy single ‘Go Go Alco’ in 2024, which you can check out below.
The remaining Paris dates will see him joined by French punk rockers Pogo Car Crash Control on Saturday (February 22) and the Parisian goth and post-punk artist Bleakness on Sunday (February 23).
From there, White heads to Utrecht, Netherlands on Tuesday (February 25), where he will be supported by Iguana Death Cult, the Dutch garage rock band who have released three studio albums and returned with the jerky, New Wave-inspired ‘Tiny Tears’ single in 2024 – listen below.
The second Utrecht date on Wednesday (February 26) features support from Amsterdam punk band The Protos, while the first night in London’s Troxy two nights later will see Gina Birch & The Unreasonables open the show, the new project from the founding member of the legendary post-punk group The Raincoats.
On March 1, White plays a second night in the Troxy, this time with the band O. in support. The South London duo released their debut album ‘WeirdOs’ in June last year, earning a four-star review from NME, who noted: “There is little room to breathe and you will practically be beaten into submission by Keary’s snare by the time you reach closer ‘Slap Juice’. But this is a confident, assured debut from O., two instrumentalists at the height of their craft – with a real sense of humour to boot.”
In Birmingham’s O2 Academy on March 2, White will be supported by the masked punk duo Black Mekon, while on closing night at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on March 3, he is joined by Stevie Jackson & The Reverberations, the current project of the Belle & Sebastian guitarist.
‘No Name’ scored a four-star review from NME upon its release in August, with Andrew Trendell writing: “This is an ode to the mystique of rock’n’roll and to the joy of music at its most physical and playful. Teasing doesn’t always lead to satisfaction. Just cut to the chase – and this one’s a bone-rattling ride. White’s revelling in the real world and has made it a much more thrilling place.”
Elsewhere, The White Stripes recently announced a 20th anniversary reissue for their fifth album ‘Get Behind Me Satan’. It will feature songwriting demos, alternate studio takes and live versions – you can purchase yours here.
White also headlined Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert earlier this month, playing a rousing version of ‘Seven Nation Army’ and a cover of Neil Young’s ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’.
