The Strokes will launch a tour across North America in June 2026, followed by dates in Japan and Europe. The tour announcement comes on the heels of new music from the band, including a new album produced by Rick Rubin. This marks a significant event for fans, promising a comprehensive show across several continents.
Supporting The Strokes on their tour will be several acts, including Cage the Elephant, Thundercat, and Hamilton Leithauser.
