The Strokes are gearing up for a huge 2026 campaign, unveiling a global run of dates across North America, the U.K., Europe and Japan in support of their upcoming seventh studio album, “Reality Awaits,” which arrives June 26 via Cult Records/RCA Records —get it here. The outing kicks off in June and stretches into the fall, with major stops including two nights at Red Rocks, London’s The O2, Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre, Paris’ Accor Arena and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
Support on select dates will come from Thundercat, Cage the Elephant, Hamilton Leithauser, Fat White Family, Alex Cameron and ÖLÜM, giving fans plenty to look forward to beyond the headlining set.
Further information and fan registration is on thestrokes.com, with presales beginning Wednesday, April 15 and general on sale this Friday, April 17. To participate in the Artist Presale in North America you must sign up here by Tuesday, April 14 at 9am ET.
The announcement arrives just after the band’s first Coachella weekend appearance and adds to an already packed schedule that also includes headline slots at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and Japan’s “Summer Sonic 2026.”
Last week, The Strokes officially launched the album cycle with the release of “Going Shopping,” the first single from “Reality Awaits.” Produced by Rick Rubin and recorded in Costa Rica before being completed in locations around the globe, the album marks the band’s first full-length release since 2020’s “The New Abnormal.” Official album listings describe it as a nine-track collection.
Since emerging from New York City in the early 2000s, The Strokes have built one of modern rock’s most influential catalogs, and this latest chapter looks positioned to be one of their biggest in years.
