The Black Keys Share “The Night Before” Single Ahead of “No Rain, No Flowers” Tour

Grammy-winning rock duo The Black Keys will kick off the first leg of the “No Rain, No Flowers Tour” on May 23rd in Oklahoma and continue through over a dozen iconic venues, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre and The Greek Theatre, before returning to Europe in July. Tickets are on sale now.

The band—comprising Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney—marked the occasion with the release of a new song, the loose and groovy “The Night Before,” out via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records. Directed by Running Bear, the video follows hotel staff breaking all the rules as they raid a guest’s closet, drink the room’s alcohol, and dance through the halls. The pair wrote the tune with Grammy award-winning songwriter Daniel Tashian. The resulting track is airy and elastic, with a sticky melody made all the more infectious by Auerbach’s soulful delivery and Carney’s crisp and funky beat.

Auerbach states:

“It’s so groove-based. ‘The Night Before’ started with a chord progression that Daniel and I came up with and the rest just fell out. It was really collaborative and all came together in about 30 minutes.”

Carney adds:

“We’ve never really worked with songwriters like that in Nashville. It’s crazy because Daniel was one of the first people I met when I moved to town over a decade ago. But we pushed ourselves to bring in some new co-writers, and we really tapped into something cool with Daniel. We’re finishing up the album now and plan to release more tracks leading into the tour.”

The Black Keys will release their 13th studio album, No Rain, No Flowers, via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records later this year. No Rain, No Flowers is an especially personal project for the Black Keys, who were forced to cancel their 2024 North American “International Players Tour” following an emotional dispute with their former management company. Now, with a fresh outlook, the duo has hit reset and crafted its most ambitious and adventurous album yet, braiding together the pair’s sprawling, eclectic musical influences. They’ll bring their revitalized energy to their upcoming tour, where they’ll pull from their critically acclaimed two-decade deep catalog.
