Jack White’s 2026 North American Tour: A Rolling-Stone Review

Jack White’s current solo tour began in North America on July 10, 2026 and runs through the fall, featuring sold-out shows such as the recent performance at New York’s Brooklyn Paramount. The setlist blends material from his recent albums—No Name (2024) and Frozen Charlotte (released the week prior)—with deep cuts from the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, and the Dead Weather. White closes each concert with “Seven Nation Army,” prompting a full-venue sing-along.

White’s shows employ a Yondr phone-free system; attendees must lock devices in a pouch that is released only after exiting the venue, a practice White pioneered. He also offers a limited number of $20 student tickets sold in person on the day of each show.

The backing band consists of drummer Patrick Keeler, keyboardist Bobby Emmett, and bassist Dominic Davis. Opening slots have featured New York rock group the Bobby Lees and the Los Angeles duo Twin Temple, whom White invited via an Instagram post: “Twin Temple, Would you like to open my show in L.A. on September 29th at the Hollywood Palladium? Let me know. Get in front of me Satan!”

A surprise moment occurred when White’s 20-year-old daughter, Scarlett White, joined him onstage for three songs—“Cannon,” “John the Revelator,” and “Black Math”—highlighting the personal flair of the tour.

White’s nightly setlists are deliberately unpredictable. Recent shows have included a rare cover of Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited,” a performance of the seldom-played “Missing Pieces” from his 2012 solo debut Blunderbuss, and occasional White Stripes staples such as “Fell in Love With a Girl,” “Hotel Yorba,” and “Ball and Biscuit.”
