The Strokes Concerts 2026-2027: Tour Schedule, Tickets and Cities
From Is This It to Reality Awaits, a practical guide to The Strokes, the festival-versus-headline difference and ticket choice.
Prepared by the FlyVentis editorial team and regularly reviewed for travel and event accuracy.
Who are The Strokes?
The Strokes formed in New York City in 1998 and the lineup has never changed: Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond Jr., Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti. Is This It, released in 2001, is regarded as one of the defining albums of the 2000s garage rock revival.
The long gaps that followed Room on Fire and First Impressions of Earth were broken by The New Abnormal in 2020. In recent years the band has favoured festival headline slots and selected city shows over continuous touring, which makes the event type worth checking. Use the FlyVentis records below for current stops.

Festival set or headline show?
The Strokes can appear on a festival bill or as a standalone hall show. Festival sets are usually shorter, the set list narrows to the hits and the ticket covers the whole festival; a headline show runs longer with a wider set list.
Read the full title and billed artists on the event card. Festival tickets also separate camping, day passes and full-festival passes; the festival camping guide explains those differences.
Choosing a venue and city
On the same run the band can play both large arenas and smaller historic halls. Crowd density on the floor, balcony sightlines and sound balance differ noticeably by room.
If there are several European stops, compare ticket, flights and two nights' accommodation city by city. The concert travel guide and the stadium and arena ticket-category guide help set the plan.
The Strokes upcoming dates
Concert-day checklist
- Confirm whether the event is a festival or a headline show.
- Check whether you hold a standing or a numbered seat.
- Read the venue's bag and camera rules.
- Plan the route home in advance.
What to know before you go
- A festival set is shorter than a headline show in both length and set list.
- Do not confuse different dates and venues in the same city.
- Standing areas concentrate in front of the stage.
- Use only authorised resale channels.
How to plan travel for a The Strokes concert
Secure a valid The Strokes ticket first, then compare transport that arrives at least one day before the show when possible. Choose accommodation by late-night links to the venue, not only by distance.
When several tour cities are practical, compare the combined ticket, flight, accommodation and local-transport cost. Read change and cancellation terms before booking.
Keep planning
Frequently asked questions
Where can I see current The Strokes dates?
The live section uses FlyVentis event records. Recheck date, city and venue before purchase.
I have a festival pass — will I definitely see the band?
The stage time is confirmed when the schedule is published and can clash with other stages. If you are travelling for this band alone, a headline show is safer.
Has the lineup changed?
No. The same founding five-piece lineup has continued since 1998.
