Good news: we've found the cure to your Coachella FOMO. If you, like every other terminally online person, have been left with a distinctly woe-is-me feeling after watching clips of The Strokes' set from the weekend, you'll be pleased to hear that the OG indie sleaze band will soon be crossing the pond.
That's right, Julian Casablancas and co. have just announced a massive world tour for later this year, including a string of UK dates, meaning you could be in a crowd belting “Last Nite” sooner than you might think.

The announcement comes just a week after The Strokes teased their new album, Reality Awaits, which drops on 26th June – perfectly timed to coincide with the new tour dates. The band won't hit UK shores until October, though, giving you plenty of time to learn the lyrics and dust off your old biker jacket. Here's everything you need to know.
When is The Strokes 2026 world tour?
The tour officially kicks off on 12th June in Manchester – alas, the city in Tennessee, not our capital of the north. The Strokes will then spend the next few months travelling around the US and Japan, before making their way to Europe in autumn.
When are The Strokes UK tour dates?
The soonest you'll get to see The Strokes on British soil is on 6th October, when they'll play London's O2 Arena. Later in the month, they'll play in Newcastle on 25th and Manchester on 26th.
