The Strokes announce massive world tour
The Strokes have unveiled a huge run of North American, UK, European and Japanese shows ahead of the release of their new album Reality Awaits.
The Strokes have announced a sprawling world tour that will take them across North America, the UK, Europe and Japan from June through the autumn.
The run includes some of the band’s biggest venues in years, with two nights booked at Red Rocks, a headline stop at London’s O2 Arena, Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre, Paris’ Accor Arena and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
A rotating cast of guests — including Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, Hamilton Leithauser, Fat White Family, Alex Cameron and ÖLÜM — will join them at select shows.
Presales open on April 15, with general sale following on April 17 via the band’s official site. Fans in North America will need to register ahead of time to access the artist presale, a move that mirrors the high‑demand rollouts seen across recent major tours.
The announcement lands just as the New York icons wrap their first Coachella weekend and prepare for a packed festival season that includes headline slots at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and Japan’s Summer Sonic 2026.
It also arrives ahead of their seventh studio album Reality Awaits, out June 26.
The band recently previewed the record with its first single Going Shopping, marking their first new music since 2020’s acclaimed LP The New Abnormal.
Recorded in Costa Rica with Rick Rubin before being finished in studios around the world, Reality Awaits signals the next chapter for a band whose early 2000s output helped define modern indie rock.
