White Stripes Announce Friday Show in Nashville

In a move of utter last-minute proportions, the White Stripes have announced that they will perform a show this very Friday, May 18, at the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville, Tenn.

The Stripes' website is calling this show "intimate" without further explanation, but a quick glance at the Citysearch entry for the Cannery Ballroom finds users replying in the affirmative when questioned whether or not said venue is crowded. This probably means that you'll want to pay close attention to the pre-sale that launches at noon central time tomorrow (Thursday, May 17) on WhiteStripes.com. Keep in mind the two-ticket limit, though, and that all concert goers for this particular show must be 18 years of age or older.

As previously reported, Icky Thump is still set for a June 19 release on Third Man/Warner Bros.
