The Strokes: new world tour

The Strokes have mapped out a 2026 world tour, expanding a festival-heavy calendar into headlining dates across North America, Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom. (shop.thestrokes.com) The band’s official tour page lists shows from June 12 at Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee, through October 20 at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, with stops at Pine Knob, United Center, TD Garden, Red Rocks, Climate Pledge Arena, The O2, Ziggo Dome, Uber Arena, and other large venues. (shop.thestrokes.com) Consequence reported April 13 that Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, and Hamilton Leithauser will join on select dates, with North American artist presales starting Wednesday, April 15, and public ticket sales opening Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. local time. (consequence.net) The routing shows how the band is turning a 2026 comeback cycle into a full tour run after opening with festival appearances at Coachella on April 11 and April 18 and adding Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Summer Sonic, Just Like Heaven, Shaky Knees, and Sea.Hear.Now. (coachella.com) (shop.thestrokes.com) The announcement is tied to *Reality Awaits*, which BrooklynVegan and other outlets described as The Strokes’ first album in six years, following 2020’s *The New Abnormal*. (brooklynvegan.com) (syracuse.com) BrooklynVegan said the tour post also bundled video and a setlist from the band’s first Coachella weekend performance, linking the new dates directly to the festival rollout. (brooklynvegan.com) A fan-edited setlist archived by setlist.fm says The Strokes played 15 songs at Coachella on April 11, including “Bad Decisions,” “Hard to Explain,” “Someday,” “Last Nite,” “Reptilia,” and the newer song “Going Shopping.” (setlist.fm) The same setlist page says the Coachella show ran from 9:00 p.m. to 10:10 p.m., and places it after two early-April San Francisco dates at The Warfield and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. (setlist.fm 1) (setlist.fm 2) By mid-April, the band’s official site was already steering fans toward the next step: another Coachella set on April 18, then the longer tour stretch that starts in June and runs into late October.
