Jack White’s Unconventional Tour for New Album “No Name” Delights Fans
In a move that mirrors the unique release of his new album, Jack White has unveiled his unconventional touring plans for “No Name”—his sixth solo album. Following the album’s free distribution at select Third Man Records shops in July and its official release on August 2nd to critical acclaim, fans have eagerly awaited news of White’s live performances.
Jack White’s approach to the “No Name” tour is as innovative as the album itself. The tour, which began on July 27th at American Legion Post 82 in Nashville, is characterized by intimate shows at small venues, backyard fetes, and a few select festivals. These performances are far from traditional, with White noting, “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.”
Since the tour’s inception, Jack White has played at iconic small venues like 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, and The Basement East in Nashville. He’s also taken the stage at major festivals, filling in for Queens of the Stone Age at Øya Festival in Norway, Syd for Solen in Denmark, and Way Out West in Sweden.
In line with the spontaneous nature of the “No Name” tour, Jack White has announced that shows will be revealed as close to the event date as possible. “Some shows we won’t even decide to do until that morning,” White shared, emphasizing the impromptu and organic feel of this tour. He added, “I also want 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. I’m looking for that cool breeze you know.”
While fans may have hoped for a more traditional touring schedule, Jack White’s approach aligns perfectly with the ethos of “No Name.” The album, much like the tour, is about surprise, intimacy, and connecting with audiences in a more personal way. To catch Jack White performing “No Name” live, fans will need to stay vigilant, keeping an eye on small club listings and local events.
Far Out praised “No Name” in a glowing review, stating, “If it was simply Jack White sounding like good old Jack White then that would make for a timely rocket to blast a noteworthy wreckage in today’s pixelated musical landscape, but it’s Jack White in a signature vein that timelessly revitalizes the medium of the blues with each stabbing chord—rendering it pretty damn close to the masterpiece the world needs right now.”
