Frontier Touring are beyond excited to announce that Jack White, founding member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather, a 12-time Grammy® Award-winner and 36-time nominee, and Third Man Records founder, has added a one-off New Zealand concert in Christchurch to The Pacific Rim Leg of The Supply Chain Issues Tour.
White will perform at the Christchurch Town Hall on Monday 21 November. This will be the first time he has performed a concert in our beautiful South Island, making it an extra special event for all.
In 2022 he released two new albums: April’s Fear of The Dawn, featuring the single Taking Me Back, followed by July’s Entering Heaven Alive (Third Man Records).
In addition to writing global anthems such as The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army and The Raconteurs’ Steady, As She Goes, all three of White’s acclaimed previously released solo albums – 2012’s RIAA gold certified solo debut, Blunderbuss, 2014’s Lazaretto, and 2018’s Boarding House Reach – debuted at #1 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 along with a variety of other charts. Among his myriad of international honors, White’s long run of career Grammy® awards and nominations saw Blunderbuss earning five nods over two years, including Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song’ (for Freedom At 21), Best Rock Performance, and Best Music Video (the latter two honoring the single I’m Shakin’). Lazaretto proved equally popular with Grammy® voters, scoring a nomination as Best Alternative Music Album, while its title track received the 2015 Grammy® Award for Best Rock Performance as well an additional nod as Best Rock Song.
Praised by NME as “wild, mysterious and unlike anything else around…a full, lush sounding thing packed with personality and life,” Boarding House Reach proved among White’s most unique works, topping a variety of charts in the US and Canada while drawing applause around the world. “The spirit of freaky free-play is thrilling and refreshing, a worthy end unto itself,” wrote Rolling Stone. “Like nearly all of White’s work, it manages to feel fresh, original, and still deeply rooted in history.”
In 2020, White released The White Stripes Greatest Hits (Third Man Records/Legacy) and, more recently, unveiled jackwhiteartanddesign.com, as well as opened the doors to Third Man Records London – the third Third Man Records location and first internationally. White embarked on a worldwide tour in 2022 to support his new albums. Tickets and more information can be found at jackwhiteiii.com.
