The White Stripes Announce Summer Tour

Jack and Meg, currently completing a Central and South American tour, have graced us with the first round of U.S. tour dates in support of their upcoming album Get Behind Me Satan. The tour will begin in San Diego at the end of July with a spot at Street Scene, before a couple weeks worth of West Coast shows, including a four-night engagement at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre. The tour will move east with multi-night stops in Minneapolis and Chicago.

More dates will be announced as they are confirmed. Before the tour begins, however, the White Stripes will go on a brief tour of Eastern Europe, with stops in Latvia and Slovenia.

The album will be released in the U.S. on June 7. The single, "Blue Orchid", has already been released. We here at Pitchfork HQ have been (un)fortunate enough to hear one of the B-sides, "Who's a Big Baby?" Let's just say that you'd do very well to stick to the A-side, and that there's a reason B-sides are left off of albums.
