Tour Updates: White Stripes, Peter Bjorn and John

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.
