The Black Keys, fresh off receiving multiple Grammy Awards for their latest Nonesuch album, Brothers, have announced plans for a summer tour of the United States and Canada. The band will be joined for most of the dates by special guests Cage the Elephant and, for the first date in June, by Booker T. Jones, Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea. Fan pre-sale for the newly announced June and July shows starts this Wednesday, February 23, at 10 AM local time through MusicToday.com and ends at 10 PM the night prior to the public on sale. Public on sale is either Friday, Feburary 25, or Saturday, February 26.

The band performed two sold-out shows at the Chelsea Ballroom at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas over the weekend, with Cage the Elephant opening on Saturday and OutKast's Big Boi on Sunday. There was a whole lot of "quaking and shaking" going on at the Chelsea, says the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Some things are meant to be felt rather than intellectualized," says Review-Journal writer Jason Bracelin, "a notion almost as perfectly primal as the Keys themselves on this night."

Below are the currently scheduled tour dates, including their recently announced stops at the Bonnaroo and Coachella festivals. For more information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

To pick up a copy of the Grammy Award-winning album Brothers, with high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s of the album included at checkout, head to the Nonesuch Store.
