The Strokes’ 2026 tour

The Strokes have mapped out a 2026 world tour that starts in June and runs through fall, with North American, United Kingdom, European and Japan dates. (news.livenation.com) The rollout began after the band’s April 2026 Coachella appearance, and the official tour pages now list headline shows from Clarkston, Michigan, on June 15 through Barcelona, Spain, on October 20. (brooklynvegan.com) (shop.thestrokes.com) Live Nation said the run includes two Red Rocks dates in Morrison, Colorado, plus arena stops including London’s The O2 and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome. The official store page also shows festival bookings at Bonnaroo on June 12, Outside Lands on August 8, Just Like Heaven on August 22, Shaky Knees on September 18 and Sea.Hear.Now on September 20. (news.livenation.com) (shop.thestrokes.com) The support lineup changes by leg instead of staying fixed for the whole tour. BrooklynVegan and Live Nation both list Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, Hamilton Leithauser, Fat White Family, Alex Cameron and ÖLÜM on select dates. (brooklynvegan.com) (news.livenation.com) For North America, BrooklynVegan reported June headline dates with Thundercat and Hamilton Leithauser, July dates with Thundercat and Cage the Elephant, and September shows with support still to be announced. The official tour page matches that routing with June amphitheater and arena dates in Detroit-area Clarkston, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and Columbia, Maryland, followed by July dates in Richmond, Cincinnati, Noblesville and two nights at Red Rocks. (brooklynvegan.com) (shop.thestrokes.com) For Europe, Live Nation said Fat White Family, Alex Cameron and ÖLÜM will rotate onto select dates, and the official pages show the fall leg beginning at The O2 in London on October 6 before moving through Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Bologna and Barcelona. (news.livenation.com) (shop.thestrokes.com) The tour lands as the band pushes its first album in six years. BrooklynVegan reported last week that *Reality Awaits* is a Rick Rubin-produced record, and the official United Kingdom store tied presale access to preorders ahead of the April 14 cutoff. (brooklynvegan.com) (shopuk.thestrokes.com) The Coachella footage doubled as the tour announcement vehicle. BrooklynVegan said the band used video from the festival set to reveal the routing and collaborators, and the same post published the setlist from that performance. (brooklynvegan.com) One detail still stands out in the routing: there is no New York City headline date on the current schedule. BrooklynVegan noted that absence while pointing to the band’s September 20 booking at Sea.Hear.Now in Asbury Park, New Jersey, as the closest area stop now on the books. (brooklynvegan.com)
