Jack White sets pair of Denver dates following surprise Bluebird show

Grammy-winning artist Jack White will play a pair of dates at Mission Ballroom next year, following an unorthodox promo tour that saw him performing at venues many times too small for his draw — including Denver’s Bluebird Theater.

White, one half of the former garage-rock duo The White Stripes, will headline the River North Art District’s Mission Ballroom on May 8 and 9, 2025. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, Nov. 22, via axs.com, which also offers links to various artist pre-sales. Tickets are $79.50 and the show is ages 16-and-up.

White surprised fans at East Colfax Avenue’s historic Bluebird Theater on Oct. 8, and is no stranger to pop-up shows in the city. In 2008 he appeared with his band for a “secret” show at a service station in Lakewood — a mere six hours before his sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre concert.

Service station owner Manuel Bonilla at the time told The Denver Post that members of White’s crew had stopped in Isdajo Automotive two hours earlier asking permission to put on the show.

“They told me it was going to be a band,” Bonilla said. “They didn’t mention any names.”

White is promoting his Aug. 2 album “No Name.”
