The Strokes' 2026 tour

The Strokes have mapped out a 2026 world tour that starts in June and runs through October, with different support acts attached to different legs. (newsroom.livenation.com) Live Nation said the run includes North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and Europe, with stops at Bonnaroo on June 12, two nights at Red Rocks on July 22 and 23, London’s O2 on October 6, and Paris’ Accor Arena on October 22. (newsroom.livenation.com) The support roster named in the announcement includes Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, Hamilton Leithauser, Fat White Family, Alex Cameron and ÖLÜM on select dates. Live Nation said presales begin Wednesday, April 15, 2026, and the general on-sale starts Friday, April 17. (newsroom.livenation.com) The tour is tied to *Reality Awaits*, which Live Nation identified as the band’s seventh studio album and their first new album in six years. The release date listed in the announcement is June 26, 2026, through Cult Records and RCA Records. (newsroom.livenation.com) That timing puts the road run directly behind the band’s return to Coachella, where they played the festival on April 11 and are scheduled to play its second weekend on April 18. The Strokes’ official tour page lists both Coachella and the newly announced headline dates. (shop.thestrokes.com) BrooklynVegan’s package paired the tour news with material from the Coachella rollout, including the setlist and video from the festival performance. Setlist.fm’s entry for the April 11 show lists 15 songs, including “Last Nite,” “Reptilia,” “Someday,” “The Adults Are Talking,” and the new song “Going Shopping.” (brooklynvegan.com, setlist.fm) The routing also shows how heavily the band is leaning on festival anchors around the headline dates. In addition to Coachella, the schedule includes Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Summer Sonic, Just Like Heaven, Shaky Knees and Sea.Hear.Now. (newsroom.livenation.com) The U.K. leg carries extra weight for longtime fans there. NME reported that these October dates will be the band’s first full tour in Britain in 20 years. (nme.com) The immediate next marker is the ticket sale this week, followed by the album release on June 26 and the first tour stop at Bonnaroo on June 12. By then, the Coachella comeback will have turned into a full-scale 2026 campaign. (newsroom.livenation.com, shop.thestrokes.com)
