Overview
The Strokes have announced their first live gig in three years, revealing that they'll be playing an intimate show ahead of this year's Governor's Ball. Dates and ticket details are below.
The NYC indie icons were previously announced for a massive homecoming festival show at the Governor's Ball alongside Jack White, Vampire Weekend and more on 7 June. Now, they've revealed that they'll be warming up with an intimate gig at the 1,800-capacity Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on 31 May.
"I think it was just that Julian was trying to figure out his solo thing and I don't know when he's doing it, but we got this offer and we all agreed on it - but more importantly he agreed on it. He's the leader of the band, and we usually say yes to playing shows. I imagine that'll start something, it always does but it's just too soon. He's swamped with his solo stuff and I can't even begin to stress him out with like 'what are doing?' I know he's singing a song that we recorded and he's in the studio trying to do something, so we'll see."
