Jack White first rose to international prominence as one half of The White Stripes, alongside Meg White, with the duo becoming synonymous with a stripped-back, blues-infused approach to rock that would influence a generation of musicians. The White Stripes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2025.

White subsequently expanded his musical universe through The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, before embarking on an acclaimed solo career -- releasing Blunderbuss, Lazaretto, Boarding House Reach, Fear of the Dawn, Entering Heaven Alive and No Name.

His latest studio album, Frozen Charlotte, is an intense rock and roll punch with blues underpinnings never far behind -- produced and mixed by White at his Third Man Studio in Nashville.

From the unmistakable sound of The White Stripes to the explosive energy of his solo catalogue, this is a setlist built for one night, one city. It will not be repeated.
