ABOUT THE EVENT
The Strokes at Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam
The Strokes plays Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on Sunday, October 11, 2026, billed as "Reality Awaits". The listed start time is 20:00 local time.
The Strokes formed in New York City and helped spark the early-2000s garage rock revival with Is This It. They tour less often than many of their peers, which makes their headline shows sought after.
Fat White Family and Alex Cameron are listed alongside The Strokes for this show. Support sets usually start before the headliner, so arrive early if you want to catch the full bill.

THE LIVE SHOW
What The Strokes concerts are like
A Strokes concert is short, sharp and unpredictable. The band plays tight, fast versions of Last Nite, Reptilia, Someday and The Adults Are Talking, and headline sets are usually around an hour and a half.
Julian Casablancas is known for rambling, deadpan talk between songs, and some nights feel loose while others are razor-focused. The crowd, many of whom grew up with the early albums, sings the guitar lines as much as the lyrics. Songs from The New Abnormal, such as Bad Decisions, fit easily alongside the early material.
Tips for the Amsterdam show
- Do not expect a very long headline set; arrive in time to catch the support act as well.
- The front of the floor gets pushy on Reptilia and Last Nite, so pick your spot early.
New to the music? Is This It and Room on Fire are the essentials; most of the set comes from them.

Getting to Ziggo Dome
Ziggo Dome is an indoor arena in Amsterdam Zuidoost, with a capacity of around 17,000. Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station (train and metro) is a short walk away. The listed address is De Passage 100, Amsterdam.
As an indoor arena, it is weather-proof, but bag-size limits and cloakroom queues are common, so travel light.
Travelling to Amsterdam for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Schiphol Airport (AMS). After a Sunday show, a lot of fans travel home on Monday morning. If your flight is early, a hotel with a direct route to the airport is more useful than one next to the venue.
With a 20:00 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
