The Raconteurs will make their live return for Third Man’s 10th anniversary event in Nashville on April 6th.
The band’s first live outing in eight years is due to take place along side Lillie Mae, The Gories, Craig Brown Band, The Dirtbombs, Detroit Cobras and Quintron & Miss Pussycat, who have all been booked for performances, while Margo Price, Alison Mosshart, Joshua Hedley, and Carla Azar are to perform DJ sets.
The Raconteurs began teasing their comeback towards the end of last year and by December had released two new songs, Sunday Driver and Now That You’re Gone, both as a 7″ double A-side single and on the 10th anniversary re-release of their second studio album Consolers Of The Lonely.
Renewed activity from the band has been discussed by Jack White for some time, as far back as 2013 when he was also preparing more solo work and a new Dead Weather album.
