Shows on Jack White’s upcoming tour will be phone free. Jack’s hitting the road for his new album “Boarding House Reach.” The statement he released said “We think you’ll enjoy looking up from your gadgets for a little while and experience music and our shared love of it IN PERSON.” It shouldn’t really shock anyone that Jack is taking a stance on this. He’s been pretty outspoken at his shows if he sees someone with their phone out. How will they keep you from your phone during the performance? The Yondr pouch.
The statement said “Upon arrival at the venue, all phones and other photo or video-capturing gizmos will be secured in a Yondr pouch that will be unlocked at the end of the show. You keep your pouch-secured phone on you during the show and, if needed, can unlock your phone at any time in a designated Yondr Phone Zone located in the lobby or concourse. For those looking to do some social media postings, let us help you with that. Our official tour photographer will be posting photos and videos after the show at jackwhiteiii.com and the new Jack White Live Instagram account @officialjackwhitelive. Repost our photos & videos as much as you want and enjoy a phone-free, 100% human experience.”
There is no Chicago date on the tour just yet, but there is still plenty of time for him for figure out a way to make it though. His new album is out in March.
