Jack White’s Joburg rock stop

As former guitarist and lead vocalist of the Grammy-winning rock duo The White Stripes, Jack White’s group became synonymous with a laid-back, blues-infused approach to rock. While the band officially disbanded in 2011, during their tenure, they released songs like ‘Seven Nation Army’ that became one of the most recognisable rock songs of the 2000s.

Beyond The White Stripes, he expanded his musical universe through The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and an acclaimed solo career, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums including Blunderbuss, Lazaretto, Boarding House Reach, Fear of the Dawn, Entering Heaven Alive and No Name.

His latest studio album, Frozen Charlotte, demonstrates his growth as an artist and his ability to remain
creatively unpredictable.

Known for his raw guitar playing, distinctive vocals and uncompromising approach to music, White’s South African shows will draw from his remarkable career spanning The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and his acclaimed solo career, while showcasing material from his latest album, Frozen Charlotte.
