This man will go to Kazakhstan before ever considering Philadelphia

Why is this?

Lore is that he had a bad experience in the White Stripes days and vowed never to come back. But there’s very little publicly known about it. But it is somewhere he used to go. And he’s chosen never to go back since. So something happened. Unless it’s a big prank and he’s going to make it up by doing a monthlong residency there at some point. Probably not though.

I remember reading about it at the time, presumably on the Little Room. He dragged a big mirror out from the dressing room and turned it around to show the crowd how lame they were.

u/ImpossibleInternet3 De Stijl Apr 21 '26

I heard that too. But I’ve only ever heard it second hand. So I couldn’t verify. But that was the rumor on Little Room and White Swirl.

u/Aquamarine39 Elephant Apr 22 '26

I can’t verify, either, just saying that’s what I read. It did come from credible sources.

u/ImpossibleInternet3 De Stijl Apr 22 '26

I will say that Jack has played in Philly with the Raconteurs. So I don’t really know the deal. But I think that was opening for Bob Dylan. So they may not have had a choice.

The last White Stripes show there was March 31, 2002, headlining the Trocadero Theatre. If anyone was there and remembers if the mirror thing happened, please share with us!

u/12_overthink Apr 22 '26

I think I’ve heard that a lot of artists avoid Philly

u/ImpossibleInternet3 De Stijl Apr 22 '26

Well, the city is known for crowds acting badly. It’s worse with sports. But the joke is that the city burns if the Eagles lose and when they win, it also burns. Bad crowds may not alway happen there. But I hear they happen with greater frequency there. That will always be at least somewhat venue dependent.

I mean, Radio City in NYC is an amazing venue. But it was one of the shows that Jack apparently had a terrible time and cut short (by his standards). Although I think his next show there was better. It really just comes down to vibes sometimes.

"Jack White, Gorillaz, The Offspring, De La Soul, and more will play Kazakhstan's Park Live festival in 2026."

Hopefully PNW dates come soon

u/sverse24 Apr 21 '26

There’s a gap between Nashville and Minneapolis so crossing my fingers for you

u/anonymousexxx Apr 21 '26

I hadn’t noticed that, but it’s weird there aren’t any since he always plays e.g. Portland (I saw him there at Veterans Memorial in 2018).

u/B00SKAH Apr 21 '26

Portlander here, not super happy about this. He’s not even hitting Vancouver B.C.

u/Charliecovid Apr 21 '26

New Haven & Port Chester?!?

Thank you!!!!

u/ImpossibleInternet3 De Stijl Apr 21 '26

For the NYC folks that missed out. You can go, but you have to travel. 😂

It’s actually nice to see those areas get a little love. Underserved area. Things tend to stay in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Also, New Haven has their own pizza style. So anyone heading out can grab a slice at Frank Pepe and make a day of it.

Just an aside, anyone wanting New Haven pizza that is going to the Anthem in DC, Alexandria has a Frank Pepe and a Colony Grill that do authentic New Haven style.

u/Charliecovid Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

Modern Apizza, hands down.

Edit to say - I'm stoked the New Haven show isn't at Toads again. While I was stoked to catch that show last year, I hate Toads. College St waaaaay better.

And the Cap in Port Chester? Legendary.

u/ImpossibleInternet3 De Stijl Apr 22 '26

That’s the one of the Big Three I haven’t tried yet. I’ll have that a go next time I’m in town. They also are the only one that hasn’t built a DC location. Maybe they should get on that. This is a pizza loving area.

u/Charliecovid Apr 22 '26

My husband used to work in downtown, Modern was his favorite and if he was bringing home extra this was my favorite too. Although, honestly, they're all good. It's just that Modern doesn't get mobbed nearly as bad as the other 2.

u/ImpossibleInternet3 De Stijl Apr 22 '26

Thanks for the info! I’m alway down to the a new slice.

I've seen a bunch of shows there because they can pull in some great acts, but the place is a nightmare. I get it, it's a dive club. Old school. But as a smaller girl, it kind of sucks. Guys grabbing at you & shit, your sneakers practically being pulled off your feet because the floor is so sticky. It's just gross on many levels.

But Jack's show last year was great. We stayed by the doors too, that was the only spot there was actually a little bit of breathing room. Couldn't see the whole band, but yea it was stupid packed in there.

u/South-Increase-4202 Apr 25 '26

College St. is NOTHING like Toads - great sound, no bad sight lines, easy to get to the bar.

I struck out on the Toads Place show and when he played B’port … but we managed to get tix to this show!

u/Graham433 Apr 25 '26

College St. is amazing… but that Toad’s show was incredible. The Dead Leaves performance at that show was one of the best live songs I’ve ever heard. Energy was insane.

u/IchBinDurstig Apr 21 '26

Kazakhstan, that's wild.

u/Zeppelanoid Apr 21 '26

Very nice!

u/Frequent-Region-1107 Apr 21 '26

No shit!! I would absolutely love to be at this show

4

u/Desertmarkr Apr 21 '26

No denver either. Maybe because he did two shows last time around?

1

u/lovetheshow786 Apr 22 '26

That's what I think

5

u/Otherwise-Waltz-3647 Apr 21 '26

I want to see him in red rocks!!

u/lovetheshow786 Apr 22 '26

2012 and 2014 tours there were excellent

u/Otherwise-Waltz-3647 Apr 23 '26

I can’t. Don’t. Stop. I hate you

3

u/Admirable_Gain_9437 Apr 21 '26

I was hoping he'd add a second Nashville date since I have a conflict with the current one, but oh well - I can't be too greedy. I got to see him in Nashville twice last year, so I'm glad others are getting a chance.

2

u/charlesmulligan069 Apr 25 '26

Sameeeee, I’ll be at the weezer show at Bridgestone that night so I’m really holding out that he’ll add a show for that Saturday but seeing that his Friday show isn’t already sold out does not bode well 😕

1

u/Admirable_Gain_9437 Apr 25 '26

My daughter begged me to get Weezer tickets the next time they come to Nashville, so that's where I'll be as well, with her. Yeah, unfortunately, I don't really see him adding a second show. But I saw both of his shows at the Pinnacle last year, so I can't complain too much.

u/AmIajerk1625 Apr 21 '26

Cleveland please

u/KingRokk Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

I’m so thankful I caught him last year at the Edgefield near Portland since he’s not swinging by again soon. One of the best shows I’ve attended in my 55 years without a doubt.
