The Black Keys are an American rock duo from Akron, Ohio, formed in 2001 by guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. Starting out in Carney's basement with an 8-track recorder, they built a devoted following through relentless touring and a raw blues-rock sound rooted in Mississippi hill country blues. Their albums Brothers (2010) and El Camino (2011) broke them into the mainstream, earning multiple Grammy Awards and Top 3 positions on the Billboard 200.
The Black Keys released their 14th studio album Peaches!, a 10-track blues covers record, on May 1, 2026, via Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records.
The Peaches 'N Kream World Tour launched on April 24, 2026, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with over 30 dates across North America and Europe through October.
The band released 'You Got to Lose', a cover of a George Thorogood and the Destroyers track, as the lead single from Peaches! on February 5, 2026.
The Black Keys released their 13th album No Rain, No Flowers on August 8, 2025, via Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records; it reached #11 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative chart.
The band canceled their planned 2024 International Players arena tour in May 2024 and subsequently parted ways with managers Irving Azoff and Steve Moir in June 2024.
