The Strokes Announce First Major US Tour In Five Years
The Strokes have officially announced their first major U.S. tour in five years, sparking excitement among fans and music enthusiasts across the country. The iconic indie rock band revealed the 15-city tour on Tuesday morning, with tickets set to go on sale this Friday. The tour will kick off in Chicago on September 20 and conclude in Los Angeles on November 12.
The announcement comes after months of speculation about the band’s next move, fueled by cryptic social media posts and hints during recent festival appearances. The Strokes last toured the U.S. in 2021, and their return has been highly anticipated by fans who have eagerly awaited new material and live performances.
The tour will include stops in major cities such as New York, Austin, Seattle, and Atlanta, with additional dates expected to be added based on demand.

The news has dominated social media and Google Trends today, with fans sharing their excitement and scrambling to secure tickets. Many are praising the band’s enduring influence on the indie rock scene and their ability to draw massive crowds even after decades in the industry.
The Strokes’ resurgence comes amid a broader revival of interest in early 2000s rock music, with younger audiences discovering their hits like "Last Nite" and "Reptilia." The band’s latest album, "The New Abnormal," released in 2020, earned critical acclaim and a Grammy Award, further solidifying their place in music history.
Tickets for the tour will be available through Ticketmaster and other major platforms, with presales starting Wednesday for verified fans. Given the band’s popularity, tickets are expected to sell out quickly, prompting fans to act fast.
The Strokes’ return to the stage is not just a win for fans but also for the live music industry, which continues to recover from the challenges of the pandemic. Their tour announcement has already generated significant buzz, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated concert series of the year.
