Tickets
Get tickets through Ticketmaster and SeatGeek. The tour includes several outdoor amphitheater dates that sell out fast in summer — Red Rocks in particular typically goes quickly.
What to Expect
The Strokes closing Coachella Weekend 2 with a politically charged set set the tone for what the Reality Awaits tour will feel like: a band that still has something to say, not just a nostalgia run through Is This It.
The Reality Awaits tour is their most extensive North American run in years, hitting amphitheaters and arenas rather than the theater circuit of previous tours. Setlists on this cycle have been mixing deep catalog cuts with the singles — expect Last Nite, Reptilia, and 12:51 alongside tracks from The New Abnormal and newer material.
The two nights at Red Rocks on July 22–23 are the standout dates on the North American leg. Red Rocks is one of the best concert venues in the country, and The Strokes at the Morrison, CO amphitheater is the kind of show that sells out months out.
Notable Stops
Bonnaroo (June 12): The tour opens at Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN. Great Stage Park holds 80,000+ and the Bonnaroo crowd is built for exactly this kind of set.
Red Rocks (July 22–23): Two nights at one of America's most iconic outdoor venues. See the Red Rocks schedule for the full summer lineup.
Outside Lands (August 8): The San Francisco festival stop — Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park is one of the best-produced urban festivals in the country.
European arena run (October): Back-to-back O2 Arena dates in London bookend a European run through Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona, and Dublin.
