Because of the specific demand of Karen Elson herself, the concert will start at 8pm sharp. There will be no support act.

The KAREN ELSON concert scheduled for SUNDAY 26 SEPTEMBER has been moved forward to WEDNESDAY 22 SEPTEMBER. AB is one of the lucky ones, as the Karen Elson September tour has been cut in half. By moving this date, however, AB is able to ensure a Belgian visit, and the itinerary now takes in only London, Brussels, Berlin and Paris. Karen Elson is - following another cancellation earlier this year - aware of this inconvenience and has issued this statement for the organisers and fans:

Dear Friends and Fellow Rascals,

I have some news about my upcoming tour in Europe. I sadly have to cancel some shows and reshuffle a few others. While there is no volcano clouding up the skies this time, I'm having a metaphoric ash cloud of my own at the moment, and would like to explain my reasons in hope that you may understand.

The next few months are going to be very hectic, between music, motherhood and my fashion commitments, so sometimes the balance gets uneven. The schedule for my tour and the months beyond were beginning to conflict with the time I spend with my children, and in order to juggle everything and stay sane I had to reshuffle these dates. The dates below are the new tour dates. I'm very sorry to the folks who have already purchased tickets and for the inconvenience caused, but I can't wait to come back to Europe and play for my fans there. I want to thank you for your support and for enjoying these songs that haunt me.

Her name doesn't immediately ring a bell in musical circles. However, in fashion circles, Karen Elson is a big name. In the past she's worked with famous fashion designers like Marc Jacobs, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Chanel. She's also adorned the much-desired covers of the likes of Vogue, Dazed & Confused and Elle. Her link with musical circles? The White Stripes, for whom she appeared in the ‘Blue Orchid’ clip and soon after meant somewhat more... namely, she became Mrs Jack White. Her intriguing voice could already be heard in her cabaret clique, The Citizens Band, and aside both Robert Plant and Cat Power (with whom she covered a Gainsbourg song). In May, her debut ‘The Ghost Who Walks’ was released – produced by dear husband Jack White – which shifted between traditional folk, country & blues and a touch of drama. The fantastic single of the same name certainly already presents a Karen Elson in top form. We've already seen Mrs White at work at the showcase festival SXSW in Texas and will just quote our reporter on the spot: “What a beautiful voice and how stylish!”

Be there on time for Karen Elson's Belgian premiere (with members of The Dead Weather and My Morning Jacket in her backing band) in the intimate ABClub, there where dear husband Jack White also made his Belgian debut in 2001 with The White Stripes.
