The Black Keys Australian tour 2012 has been announced that will see the New Zealand reggae-soul heavyweights perform eight shows across Australia in June, including Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Byron Bay.

With their highly anticipated new studio album set for release on 13 April through Remote Control Records, and on the back of their performance at the 2011 Splendour In the Grass Festival, the tour will see the band unleashing tracks from the new album on Australian audiences for the first time.

The follow up to 2008’s Solid Ground, Dust and Dirt marks an exciting new chapter for the multi-platinum selling New Zealand band whose fanbase has spread around the world in recent years.

Self recorded and produced in their Wellington studio, the album introduces new styles not heard on previous releases whilst retaining the trademark sound the band are known for.
