At last, the White Stripes will have confirmed plans to spread their Icky Thump across the U.S. following their rather thorough venture in the Great White North. The stateside jaunt, a 15-date affair kicking off Sept. 4 in Chicago, will lead Jack and Meg White and their Icky tunes through assorted cities such as Lincoln, NE, Fargo, ND, and Boise, ID in an apparent effort to reach their off-beaten-path devotees. Next, the band will hit Albuquerque, swing through Texas for a pair of shows during the Austin City Limits festival, stroll through California and Anchorage, AK, and cap with a pair of gigs in Seattle.
