The Black Keys – Isle of Wight Festival
On Friday 12th June 2015, American rock duo The Black Keys will be performing at the Isle of Wight festival, and I couldn’t be more excited.
Stretching right back to the raw, bluesy tone of ‘Thickfreakness’ from the album of the same title (released in 2003), to the immensely catchy ‘Gold on the Ceiling’ from the album El Camino (released in 2011), to the more upbeat, psychedelic vibe of ‘Fever’ from their latest album Turn Blue which was released just last year – The Black Keys boast countless numbers of exceptional hits.
The seemingly ordinary looking two-piece will undoubtedly give an unforgettable performance at this year’s Isle of Wight festival as they are a band that possess the ability to set their listeners’ nerves tingling with their range of distinctive guitar riffs and memorable lyrics, which are most likely to be enhanced during a live performance. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney seem to put everything into their performances, and with their large number of remarkable hits, they are unquestionably a must see act of this year’s festival season.
