Let the Racontouring begin! Jack White and his roots rocking bros begin their previously reported world tour tonight, April 14, in Nashville. They've got a pair of UK dates sandwiched in the middle of their North American shows from April to June, and after those are done, the band will head to Europe to play some summer festivals. They'll also play Lollapalooza in August.

Along the way, the Raconteurs have a run of dates with Black Lips and one show with the Fiery Furnaces.

All of these shows, of course, are in support of the Raconteurs' immaculately conceived new album, Consolers of the Lonely.
