Secret Sounds and Live Nation have announced The Strokes’ highly anticipated return to Australia in February 2027 for Reality Awaits Australia 2027.
Since their 2001 debut, their beloved discography has defined the sound of a generation. The band has played to full houses in North America and Japan, with a string of sold-out dates across the UK, Europe and South America still to come.
Reality Awaits is the seventh studio album from The Strokes, featuring singles 'Going Shopping' and 'Falling Out of Love'. Recorded in Costa Rica with producer Rick Rubin and finished around the globe, Reality Awaits marks the band’s first new music since 2020’s much-lauded The New Abnormal and extensive global touring in its wake.
Alongside the Reality Awaits tour this year, The Strokes have played Coachella plus headline sets for Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and Japan’s Summer Sonic 2026.
