Rock legend Jack White brought the heat to his hometown this week, performing at the NFL Thanksgiving celebration in Detroit while his massive 2025 world tour continues to break records with nearly sold-out shows across multiple continents.
The White Stripes icon is in the midst of one of the most ambitious touring campaigns of his career, supporting his critically acclaimed album No Name, which dropped unexpectedly in August via his Third Man Records label. With the tour already generating massive buzz, White's Thanksgiving performance marked another high-profile appearance for the musician who has become a festival favorite and touring powerhouse in 2025.
The 'No Name' Tour Phenomenon
Jack White's current world tour is shaping up to be a massive undertaking, with dates scheduled through May 2025 across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The North American leg alone features
36 headlining concerts kicking off February 6th in Toronto and wrapping up May 24th outside Portland, Oregon. The tour includes multi-night stands in major cities like Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago, Austin, Los Angeles, and Seattle, plus intimate shows in his Nashville home base and Detroit roots.
What's particularly striking is the
unprecedented demand for tickets. As of December 2024, all but five of White's 2025 tour dates had already sold out, according to reports. This level of ticket sales demonstrates the enduring appeal of the rock veteran and the strong reception to
No Name, which earned a
Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album—White's 34th solo career nomination and 46th overall.
A Year of Surprises and Festival Dominance
2025 has been an extraordinary year for White, marked by unexpected moves and high-profile festival appearances. The musician surprised fans by releasing
No Name through an unconventional method: unmarked white-label vinyl copies were quietly slipped into customers' bags at Third Man Records stores in Nashville before a wider digital release followed.
Beyond his own tour, White has positioned himself as a
festival headlining ringer, stepping in to replace major acts at significant events. He substituted for Queens of the Stone Age after frontman Josh Homme underwent emergency surgery, and filled in for Foo Fighters following Dave Grohl's personal announcement. Between these festival appearances, White also conducted a series of surprise pop-up club shows announced just days in advance, keeping fans on their toes throughout the year.
New Music and B-Sides
Alongside the tour announcement, White shared previously unreleased material from the
No Name sessions. The track
"You Got Me Searching," a B-side to the album's "That's How I'm Feeling," showcases the guitarist's continued creative energy. The two songs were released as a 7-inch single on November 22, giving fans additional material to explore while anticipating the full tour experience.
What's Next
With the Thanksgiving performance in Detroit now in the books, White's focus shifts to the international dates ahead. The tour will continue through Asia, Australia, and New Zealand before the North American leg launches in February 2025. For fans hoping to catch the rock legend live, the near-complete sellout of 2025 dates suggests that securing tickets quickly will be essential for any remaining available shows.
Jack White's 2025 campaign represents a masterclass in modern touring strategy—combining surprise releases, festival appearances, intimate club shows, and a massive world tour that's already breaking attendance records before most dates have even arrived.
