The Black Keys chart Peaches! at number seven in Germany
Published on 08/21/2026 at 16:51 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
The Black Keys have a fresh German chart marker and a confirmed return to Cologne this year. According to GfK Entertainment, Peaches! enters the Offizielle Deutsche Album-Charts at number seven, while Eventim lists the duo at Palladium Köln on 6 September 2026.
The German chart line
Peaches! gives The Black Keys their strongest current German market marker in the available chart report. The album sits at number seven in the Offizielle Deutsche Album-Charts, which GfK Entertainment says are compiled by order of the BVMI and cover 90 percent of music sales in Germany.
That placement matters because it puts the Ohio duo squarely inside the top tier of the German market, not just in a broader international context. The same chart report also names BTS, Unheilig and Tori Amos nearby in the same week, underlining how competitive that top segment is.
Cologne leads the route
The live side of the story now points first to Germany. Eventim’s German tour note confirms two shows in the country: Köln on 6 September 2026 and München on 9 September 2026.
Eventim’s venue page for Cologne names Palladium Köln and places the show there on 6 September 2026. In the same period, the UK leg is also listed, with Eventim Apollo in London on 31 August 2026 and O2 Academy Brixton on 1 September 2026.

How the record sounds
Peaches! keeps The Black Keys close to their blues-rock core, but the record leans into cover material rather than self-penned studio material. Eventim describes it as a ten-song album recorded live in the room, unrehearsed and with few overdubs, which fits the duo's rough-edged reputation.
That same setup also explains why the album reads less like a glossy comeback and more like a band tightening its instincts. The result is a current release with a clear line back to the stripped-down attack that defined their early work.
Where the band stands
The Black Keys are currently scheduled to play Köln on 6 September 2026 at Palladium Köln.
