Jack White Announces Richmond Festival Date. Could This Be Iron Blossom?

by | Apr 9, 2026 | CULTURE, MUSIC

Jack White is scheduled to perform in Richmond on Sunday, September 20, according to a recent tour announcement that lists the date as a “festival headline performance” at a venue to be announced.

The listing has prompted speculation that the show could be tied to Iron Blossom Music Festival, which has historically taken place in the fall but has not yet announced plans for 2026.

Organizers of Iron Blossom did not confirm the connection when contacted by RVA Magazine, saying in an email that they can neither confirm nor deny that the festival referenced in White’s September 20 Richmond date is theirs. They cited ongoing coordination and “a lot of moving parts” as the reason a lineup has not yet been formally announced, but added: “Jack White just announced a Richmond festival date in September…could this be Iron Blossom? We hope to find out soon.”
