Jack White to team up with Inspector Gordon
Jack White will be streaming a performance in a live webcast from New York that will stream live on White's youtube channel tomorrow at 11am. Making it all the more special is the fact that the performance will be directed by none other that cult hero Gary Oldman, rock star portrayer-cum-Bat symbol chief.
The webcast will be a perfect preview for those lucky enough to be making their way up to Byron Bay for Splendour In The Grass or those who will be White's sideshows in July.
Jack White Tour Dates:
| Wednesday 25th July | Festival Hall, Melbourne |
| Thursday 26th July | Hordon Pavilion, Sydney |
| Friday 27th July | Splendour In The Grass, Byron Bay |
