Hailing from the United States, the band’s raw sound and sharp songwriting have continually shaped the direction of alternative rock, welcomed by discerning listeners and critics alike. Their catalogue features landmark releases such as “Angles”, “Comedown Machine”, and 2020’s “The New Abnormal”, cementing their legacy as one of the core innovators of their genre.

In recent months, The Strokes have delivered dynamic performances across the UK, taking the stage at celebrated venues like The Underworld in London and O2 Academy Leeds.

Their presence at major events underscores both their enduring appeal and their capacity to connect with new and long-time fans on the live circuit.
