Jack White review rock'n'roll showman makes believers of us all
Briefly

Jack White's recent concert in east London showcased his dynamic performance style across his discography, featuring tracks from his latest album, No Name, and notable hits from the White Stripes and the Raconteurs. The venue complemented his artistic flair, being an art deco space steeped in character. Fans experienced a range of styles, from garage-punk blues to acid-rock interpretations of classic songs. White's playful persona engaged the audience, as he confidently claimed, 'everything that comes out of my mouth tonight will be the truth!', embodying a mischievous yet honest spirit during a complex global climate in 2025.
"Do you believe me yet? yells Jack White from the lip of the stage... It's a very Jack White kind of location: highly stylised, lovingly restored, but not entirely removed from its unglamorous surroundings."
"It's Rough on Rats (If You're Asking) is a particularly rousing workout full of guitar shock and awe, from an album that has drawn relieved and delighted comparisons to White's first band, the White Stripes."
"White began this gig with an affirmation that everything that comes out of my mouth tonight will be the truth! A little while later, though, he introduces himself as Johnny Guitar, from Hackney."
"It's 2025, the postwar world order is in grave flux, but we are on surprisingly steady ground here tonight. Kaleidoscopic garage-punk blues fills the air."
