Jack White has spoken to NME.com about his band's forthcoming UK tour. The White Stripes are currently on tour in Europe and will play their first UK date at the Hammersmith Apollo on 5 Nov: They will also play two nights at Alexandra Palace, and White commented on the last time they performed there: "We were a bit worried about playing Alexandra Palace last time. We thought it'd be a big empty hall but it ended up being really nice. The crowd was interesting."
He added that the band have learnt a lot whilst playing at the capital's venues: "London has been a place where we've done a lot of learning about what we can get away with and what we can't get away with and what kind of attitude needs to be in the room to make us feel good."
He continued: "There's a different attitude that comes through in every place. As a performer you have to come through and try hard to gauge that - particularly us, because we don't follow a setlist."
