MANHATTAN — Blues-rock duo the Black Keys will play an exclusive Manhattan concert next week to benefit an HIV/AIDS services organization.

The band, which has earned critical acclaim for its classic, guitar-heavy sound, will open a pop-up shop in the Housing Works Bookstore Café from May 18-20, with an intimate performance by the group set for May 19.

Housing Works provides services such as housing, medical care and job training to homeless New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS, and operates “thrift shops” across Manhattan selling high-end merchandise to benefit its mission.

The show will take place at the café, located in SoHo at 126 Crosby St., at 8 p.m. on May 19.

Tickets are $100 and come with a copy of the band’s upcoming album “Brothers,” while $150 will get guests an autographed deluxe edition CD with photo book and a limited-edition event poster.
