The Dead Weather Reunion took fans by surprise when Jack White posted a backstage photo from Cincinnati on Wednesday night, capturing a rare moment with his bandmates Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs), and Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age).
“Impromptu Dead Weather reunion backstage at the @queensofthestoneage and @thekills show in Cincinnati last night? Not a bad way to spend an evening,” White wrote on Instagram. The photo, he added, was taken by QotSA frontman Josh Homme.
The Dead Weather hasn’t released an album since 2015’s Dodge and Burn and haven’t toured since 2010. The band notably chose not to tour in support of Dodge and Burn, making any reunion sighting especially notable for fans.
White’s post sparked excitement, with one fan commenting, “What if there were more reunions…less impromptu…planned and announced ahead of time and taking place in different cities.” White replied, “hahahah,” leaving the door open—if only slightly—to the possibility.
While there are no confirmed plans for a formal return, the spontaneous nature of The Dead Weather reunion has reignited interest in one of rock’s most intriguing supergroups.
