The Black Keys announce July 3 date at Roy Wilkins

Though the venue has gotten plenty of grief for its less-than-ideal sound setup for rock shows, its been a go-to spot for some of the biggest touring indie acts of late -- the Flaming Lips, Arcade Fire, and LCD Soundsystem all played there in the last year.
Chris Riemenschneider is already petitioning to have the gig moved to Harriet Island, given that it falls on Fourth of July weekend and there likely won't be a Taste of Minnesota this year, which would boost the show's capacity to about 10,000 people. But something tells me the cool, boomy acoustics of the Roy might fit the lo-fi garage rock of the Black Keys just fine.
