Paris – 06/13/2026: American musician Jack White will give two concerts this Saturday and Sunday at the historic Olympia in Paris. White became known as the singer and guitarist of the White Stripes, but his musical career is marked by diverse projects. The following presents five songs that mark central milestones of his impressive career.
“Seven Nation Army” (2003) is probably the best-known hit of the White Stripes. With its iconic bass line and minimalist arrangement, the track from the album “Elephant” evolved into a stadium anthem sung by fans worldwide.
After the dissolution of the White Stripes, White founded The Raconteurs together with other musicians. Their debut album “Broken Boy Soldiers” includes “Steady, As She Goes” (2006), a song with catchy melodies and distinctive guitar sounds that shape the band’s style.
Another chapter is represented by White’s band The Dead Weather. “Treat Me Like a Dog” (2009) reflects a dark, powerful side of his work and underlines his versatility as a musician.
With his solo debut “Blunderbuss” (2012), White presented a more personal facet. “Love Interruption” impresses with reduced instrumentation and an honest, distinctive voice.
His most recent significant contribution is “Taking Me Back” (2022). The energetic garage rock song recalls the beginnings of his career and shows his return to a raw sound.
The concerts on June 13 and 14, 2026, offer the opportunity to experience this versatility live. Both evenings start at 8:00 p.m. at the Olympia, 28 Boulevard des Capucines, 75009 Paris. Tickets are available exclusively online, with demand especially high due to the artist’s great popularity.
Students can purchase a limited number of tickets for 20 euros at the box office on the day of the concert starting at 4:30 p.m., provided they present a valid student ID and photo ID. Only one ticket per person is available.
A special feature of the events is the “Phone-Free Show” concept. Mobile phones are handed over at entry in sealed bags, which remain with the guests throughout the entire concert. Emergency use is only possible in designated areas in the foyer or on the balcony.
For those unable to attend in person, it is worth visiting Jack White’s official channels. Photos and videos will be available after the performances to convey impressions of the concerts.
Jack White ranks among the most important artists of modern rock music, whose ability to blend genres and remain authentic makes him unique. The Olympia concerts are a special event to experience his diverse musical work and energetic stage presence.
