The Raconteurs Reform for MI Fest

Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler will reconvene this fall — after a three-year break spent focused on other respective band and solo projects — to headline MI Fest, a new music festival that seeks to celebrate “the history of Michigan while bringing in national names as well,” reports the Detroit Free Press. While no other concerts (or recording plans) have been revealed for the Racs as of yet, the quartet will be joined at the September 17 event by “several artists from the Third Man Records roster” for performances. Also, TMR’s Rolling Record Store will be on-site.

Other performers at MI Fest include Alto Reed’s Allstars, Bear Lake, Sheryl Crow, Hot Club of Detroit, Jill Jack, Grand Funk Railroad’s Mark Farner, and more. You can pick up tickets and find more details on Brooklyn, Michigan’s inaugural music festival here.
