Pitchfork: The Raconteurs to Tour With Bob Dylan

Well I'll be-- Jack White's Raconteurs are racking up some big time opportunities. As previously reported, the group will play the Vegoose Festival on Halloween weekend and "host" MTV's VMAs a week from today...but that doesn't mean we saw their recently announced tour dates with Bob Dylan coming. Last thing we heard, dude was hating on all contemporary music.

But next thing we know, the Raconteurs have tacked on a handful of November tour dates alongside Dylan, who, of course, has a record, Modern Times, on its way via Columbia come August 29.

Prior to kicking things off with the Raconteurs, however, Dylan will spend close to a month on the road with Kings of Leon and the Foo Fighters trading off on support duties.
