The White Stripes Tour

I don't know what it is going on with this thing. Links are alive, info is crossed out, links are dead. Billboard, NME, Filter and Pitchfork all put the dates out, but there is nothing showing at the White Stripes MySpace page outside of festivals. As an amateur blogger, at best, I feel the need to hold off with White Stripes tour dates until I see it from the band itself. Sorry for the confusion. The world wide web ain't what it use to be.

looks like it all started with NME...shocker.

“With unbridled enthusiasm for the June release of ‘Icky Thump, NME.com has printed a North American tour routing that holds no semblance of reality. Indeed, it looks like their journalists simply found and printed the tour routing the band did in support of their 2005 release, Get Behind Me Satan.

“In fact, The White Stripes have yet to confirm their North American routing as of yet. But we are happy to say that it will include all 10 provinces and 3 territories of Canada, as well as the remaining 16 states of the United States the band have yet to play. A few major markets that have been journeyed to in the past will be also be included.”
