This festival-like show will be the group’s first in Queens — Julian Casablancas’ Voidz show at the Knockdown Center in October ’24 doesn’t count — since their August 2023 gig at Forest Hills Stadium where they played a career-spanning 21-song set made up of fan favorite tracks like “Reptilia,” “Last Nite,” “Is This It,” “Call It Fate, Call It Karma” and the sublime “Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men” where they were joined by Regina Spektor for the first time in two decades.
Also, of note, their fall ’26 Flushing date is the only show on their run to feature big-name opening acts TV on the Radio, Beach House and Fcukers. Special guests at other concerts of theirs this summer include Thundercat, Hamilton Leithauser, Cage The Elephant and OLUM.
In the event you can’t attend the Flushing show, The Strokes are also scheduled to rock this year’s Sea.Hear.Now Festival in Asbury Park, NJ on Sunday, Sept. 20.
They’ll be joined by fellow icons like Mumford & Sons, Goo Goo Dolls, The Offspring, Pixies and Chaka Khan at the two-day extravaganza that happens to take place on the beach.

On top of the tour, The Strokes are lending their talents to a number of major multi-day musical extravaganzas. If you want to see which one jives the best with you, here’s everything you need to know about each of them from venues to fellow headliners.
The Strokes headlined at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in early April. Set List FM reported these were the songs they took to the stage:
07.) “Life Is Simple in the Moonlight”
In addition to the melancholy “Falling Out Of Love,” The Strokes dropped “Reality Awaits'” lead single “Going Shopping” in April.
The tropicalia-tinged tune feels like The Strokes in a minor key. A chilled-out but unmistakably Strokes-ian groove, Julian doing his auto-tuned Voidz thing…until the minute mark.
All of a sudden, the BPMs kick up a notch and a Dire Straits-esque sound pop and take the single to the next level. Catchy, fun, offbeat, this is summer music at its absolute best. Blast this one by the pool.
If you’d like to hear for yourself, you can find “Going Shopping” here.
At all non-festival shows, The Strokes will be joined by an opening act. To make sure you’re familiar with their disparate sounds, you can find each artist’s most-streamed track on Spotify below.
TV on the Radio: “Wolf Like Me”
Beach House: “Space Song”
Cage The Elephant: “Cigarette Daydreams”
Thundercat: “Funny Thing”
Hamilton Leithauser: “A 1000 Times”
Fat White Family: “Touch The Leather Redux”
Alex Cameron: “Stranger’s Kiss”
