Chase Center will be rocking when The Black Keys make their way to San Francisco as a part of their Let's Rock Tour. The three-month, 31-date tour coincides with the release of Let's Rock, The Black Keys’ first album in nearly five years. The band, comprised of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, took a hiatus after completing the Turn Blue Tour in 2015, but reunited in 2018 to record their ninth studio album. When it finally came time for The Black Keys to finally make a new album, Auerbach and Carney did not have any songs written in advance. They just met at Auerbach’s Nashville recording studio and starting creating new songs from scratch. While the album may have been created spontaneously, fans can expect a more deliberate approach from The Black Keys on the Let's Rock Tour.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, The Black Keys opened up about the conception of Let's Rock Tour setlist. Auerbach explained, “We thought about ones that were fun to play live, and also picked some ones we haven’t played in a while. We kind of threw it together, and it really worked out pretty damn good.” The result is a good mix of The Black Keys’ classic hits and new songs from Let's Rock.
