Following the July 2026 release of their seventh studio album, ‘Reality Awaits’, the rock band The Strokes have been conducting a world tour. 

In mid-October, the band performed at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy, which served as their only Italian date on the tour. The performance included new material and classic hits, supported by Fat White Family and Alex Cameron. 

By late October, the tour moved to the United Kingdom, with performances at the O2 Arena in London and the Co-op Live arena in Manchester. The sets featured a combination of established hits and new tracks such as ‘Lonely in the Future’. The Manchester show marked the band’s first appearance in the city since 2006 and utilized an eighties-inspired sci-fi stage design.
