The Black Keys live in Milan

Experience The Black Keys live on September 11th

The Black Keys are scheduled to perform at Alcatraz in Milan, Italy on September 11, 2026. The duo, comprised of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, are known for their blues rock revival sound, often characterized by raw, stripped-down instrumentation, distorted guitar tones, and soulful vocals. Their music blends elements of blues, garage rock, and soul, gaining prominence in the early 2000s and achieving mainstream success with albums like *Brothers* and *El Camino*.

Alcatraz is a historic live music venue located in Milan, housed within a former military prison dating back to 1929. Originally known as the “Casa di Reclusione” (House of Reclusion), it functioned as a functioning prison until 1989. The building’s architecture reflects its past; retaining many original features of the prison including cells and guard towers. It was repurposed into a performance space in the late 1990s and has since become a significant hub for rock, alternative, and metal music in Italy. Its unique setting contributes to its distinctive atmosphere and appeal for both artists and audiences. The venue is known for hosting both established international acts and emerging artists.
