The White Stripes will come out of hiding on February 20 to help Conan O'Brien sign off as host of NBC's 'Late Night.' The appearance will mark Stripes' first public appearance 2007.

Jack and Meg White have had a long-standing affiliation with O'Brien, dating back to the duo's week-long appearance on his show in 2003. O'Brien returned the favor by making a cameo in the Stripes' 'Denial Twist' video.

The White Stripes last appeared on 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien' two years ago, when they played two songs from their last studio album, 'Icky Thump.'

O'Brien will relocate to Los Angeles to continue on in the world of light night television, when he takes over Jay Leno's coveted 'Tonight Show.'
