Detroit rocker Jack White has provided a "message to the peoples of the world" hoping to catch him on stage following the release of his brand new, sixth solo release, No Name, and keeping on brand he's not actually revealing any solid tour dates.

In a post on his social channels, Jack White acknowledged fans’ anticipation regarding “tour dates”, however, he says “The tour already started at the Legion a couple of weeks ago,” referring to his benefit show on July 27 at Nashville’s American Legion Post 82. “People keep saying that these are ‘Pop Up Shows’ we’ve been playing,” he adds, “well, you can call them whatever you want, but we are on tour right now. These are the ‘shows.’”
Since the end of July, White has performed at intimate venues in Atlanta, Detroit, and again in Nashville, as well as a number of international festivals to support the new album -- and fans' desire to see him live -- offering up only a moment's notice before tickets become available.
After his tiny American Legion benefit to help raise money for a new sound system, Jack took the stage in Atlanta at the 460-capacity venue The 40 Watt Club and The Earl which holds just 300, as well as his hometown of Detroit's 1,000-person Saint Andrew’s Hall and Nashville’s Basement East club which holds just 575 people.

"We won’t really be announcing dates in advance so much, we will mostly be playing at small clubs, back yard fetes, and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses," Jack explains. "Shows will be announced as close to the show date as possible, some shows we won’t even decide to do until that morning. I also want to walk through orchard fields and grab apples off of trees at will and fill my belly full of that fruit if the desire strikes me. I’m looking for that cool breeze you know?"
White ended his post by saying, "We hope that we see you out on the road soon, if not let’s get coffee and a slice of pie sometime? Music is sacred."
