The Strokes - Reality Awaits Paris 2026 + Fat White Family & Alex Cameron

and Live NationEarthquake alert magnitude 12:51 on the Olympus of indie rock: The Strokes announce a landmark concert in Paris on 22 October 2026, at the Accor Arena.

The legendary American band will present “Reality Awaits”, their seventh album, due for release on 26 June 2026, as well as the countless classics from their catalogue that defined the sound of a whole generation. The new single “Going Shopping” is already available to stream.

Formed in New York in 1998, the indie group The Strokes began by playing prized local venues. Their raw stage energy and the buzz generated by their EP “The Modern Age” (2001) quickly caught the attention of the major record labels.

That same year, they released their debut album “Is This It”, unanimously acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, to the point of being named among the ten greatest debut albums of all time by Rolling Stone.

Since then, the band has confirmed their status with four further albums that charted in the Top 10 over the following decade, accumulating awards and honours.

Thanks to a discography rich in indie tracks that have become emblematic, The Strokes have established themselves as one of the major rock bands of their era, and their sense of showmanship remains intact on every tour.
