Strokes live clip circulates

A fan-shot YouTube clip of the Strokes playing “The Adults Are Talking” at Coachella is pulling festival attention into a single four-minute moment online. (youtube.com) The video was uploaded by a channel called Ryan Lenkey and had 18,207 views 15 hours after it was crawled by search results on April 13. The song appeared 10th in the band’s April 11 set at the Coachella Stage in Indio, California. (youtube.com) (setlist.fm) Coachella’s official 2026 livestream ran on YouTube across seven stage feeds on April 10-12 and will return April 17-19 for Weekend 2. The Strokes’ Weekend 1 set was scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Pacific time on Saturday, April 11, ahead of Justin Bieber’s 11:25 p.m. headlining slot on the same stage. (coachella.com) (youtube.com) (albumoftheyear.org) “The Adults Are Talking” is not a new song, but it fits the way festival clips travel now: one familiar track, one camera angle, one upload that can circulate faster than a full-set replay. The song opened the Strokes’ 2020 album *The New Abnormal* and was later pushed to radio as a single in November 2020. (thestrokes.com) (youtube.com) (wikiwand.com) That pattern sits inside Coachella’s larger YouTube machine. The festival’s official stream has become a parallel version of the event, with multiview stage feeds, replay windows, and a dedicated Coachella TV channel built for viewers who never enter the Empire Polo Club. (coachella.com) (youtube.com) (edmidentity.com) The Strokes also arrived at Coachella during a new release cycle. On April 13, multiple music outlets reported that the band had announced a 2026 world tour and a June 26 album release for *Reality Awaits*, their first studio album since *The New Abnormal*. (brooklynvegan.com) (iconvsicon.com) (syracuse.com) Setlist records show the band played 15 songs on April 11, including “Bad Decisions,” “Last Nite,” “Reptilia,” and a new song, “Going Shopping.” That mix gave fan uploads two kinds of hooks at once: catalog songs that casual viewers recognize and new material that tour watchers want to document. (setlist.fm) (1001tracklists.com) The clip’s spread does not replace the festival stream; it trims the event into a shareable unit that can keep moving after the set ends. By the time the Strokes return for Coachella’s second weekend on April 18, the song already has a second life on YouTube. (coachella.com) (setlist.fm)
