Jack White in Olympia: Five Essential Songs of the Rock Legend

Paris – June 13, 2026: American musician Jack White will hold two concerts this Saturday and Sunday at the traditional venue Olympia in Paris. White became famous as the vocalist and guitarist of the White Stripes, but his musical career is richly composed of various projects. The following introduces five songs that hold an important place in his impressive career.

Released in 2003, “Seven Nation Army” is considered the White Stripes’ most famous hit song. With its iconic bass line and minimal arrangement, this song is taken from the album “Elephant” and has become a stadium anthem sung by fans worldwide.

After the White Stripes disbanded, Jack White formed The Raconteurs with other musicians. Their debut album “Broken Boy Soldiers” includes “Steady, As She Goes” (2006), a track defined by a catchy melody and impressive guitar sound, which defines the band’s style.

Jack White’s other band, The Dead Weather, opens another chapter in his musical life. The 2009 song “Treat Me Like a Dog” showcases his darker and more intense musical side, emphasizing his versatility as a musician.

Through his solo debut album “Blunderbuss” (2012), White revealed a more personal side. “Love Interruption” features restrained instrumentation and a sincere, powerful vocal performance.

His most recent major work is “Taking Me Back,” released in 2022. This energetic garage rock song recalls his early career and shows a return to a raw sound.

The concerts on June 13 and 14, 2026, provide an opportunity to experience this diverse musicianship firsthand. Both performances start at 8 p.m. at Olympia, located at 28 Boulevard des Capucines, 75009 Paris. Tickets are only available online, and due to the artist’s high popularity, demand is very high.

Students can purchase a limited number of €20 tickets at the ticket booth on the day of the show starting from 4:30 p.m. by presenting a valid student ID and identification. Only one ticket per person can be purchased.

A special feature of this event is the “Phone-Free Show” concept. Upon entry, mobile phones are placed in sealed bags and collected, which guests carry throughout the performance. Phone usage is only allowed in designated areas in the lobby or balcony in case of emergency.

Those unable to attend in person are advised to visit Jack White’s official channels. Photos and videos will be provided after the concert to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the show.

Jack White is considered one of the most important artists in modern rock music for his ability to cross genres without losing authenticity. The Olympia concerts offer a special opportunity to experience his diverse musical world and energetic stage presence.
