The Strokes are planning a major comeback in 2026. They’ll be releasing a new album, Reality Awaits, on June 26th, and then hitting the road for a large tour starting that same month.
The Strokes spent years releasing music inconsistently and didn’t focus much on building a direct relationship with their fans. While their music was generally excellent, the New York band largely maintained its popularity by becoming well-known simply for being famous – a kind of celebrity status.
They’ll have to work a little harder to prove themselves this time. While their new album likely won’t reach the same heights as their classic debut, Is This It – that might just be an unrealistic expectation. A bigger worry right now is that their latest song, “Going Shopping,” isn’t very strong.
The Strokes announce a bunch of 2026 tour stops
The band is still fantastic in concert, so definitely catch them if you can this year! Tickets will first be available through an artist pre-sale starting Wednesday, April 15th, at 10 am local time – you’ll need to sign up by April 14th to participate. A Live Nation pre-sale follows on Thursday, April 16th, at 10 am local time. Tickets will then go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 17th, at 10 am.
You can find more details on The Strokes’ official website. Each buyer is limited to four tickets.
