The Black Keys perform at The AMP
The Black Keys are a Grammy-winning rock duo from Akron, Ohio, made up of guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. Emerging in the early 2000s, the band built their reputation on a raw, blues-driven sound rooted in gritty guitar riffs, pounding drums, and soulful vocals. What began as self-recorded albums in basemments and small studios quickly evolved into one of the most influential modern rock acts of the past two decades.
Blending blues, garage rock, soul, and psychedelia, The Black Keys broke into the mainstream with albums like Brothers and El Camino, delivering hits such as “Tighten Up,” “Howlin’ for You,” and “Lonely Boy.” Known for their electrifying live performances and constant musical evolution, the duo continues to push boundaries while staying true to the stripped-down, authentic sound that made them a global force in rock music.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m., the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $87.94-$161.65. 1340C A1A S., St. Augustine. www.theamp.com

Wander & Rest Tip
After a high-energy evening singing along to massive, fuzz-drenched rock anthems and witnessing spectacular drumming duels at the Amp, leave the buzzing concert stadium crowds behind and enjoy a peaceful drive back across the bridge to your Vilano Beach sanctuary. On your route home from the venue, consider stopping by 36 Granada in the historic district to visit the French Pantry collective for a premium late-night beverage, or swing past 180 Vilano Grill & Pizza to pick up a hot, comforting slice just moments before pulling into your neighborhood. Once you are safely back at your private Wander & Rest retreat, wash away the concert adrenaline and transition into absolute coastal luxury. Deeply soothe your muscles inside our private sauna, melt away the day’s physical tension from the standing crowd in the bubbling hot tub, or float peacefully under the night sky in the pristine heated pool before curling up in the ultra-comfortable indoor lounge areas for a deep, restful sleep.
