THE STROKES IN CONCERT:
American rockers the Strokes have been wowing audiences with their infectious hooks and post-punk influenced sound ever since breaking out in 2001 with Is This It. At the group's acclaimed live shows frontman Julian Casablancas showcases his distinct vocals on favorites like "Reptilia" and "Last Nite" while his bandmates keep pace with edgy guitar riffs, thumping basslines, and pounding drum patterns. With a decade-spanning collection of popular anthems at the ready, the Strokes always have fans singing along to their energetic sets on their can't-miss tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
New York City-based indie act the Strokes formed in 1998 and began playing local shows at popular venues in the area.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"When The Strokes came out, everything was just so perfect. Julian Casablancas is literally the best frontman ever. He went into the audience twice! Also, Fab, Nick, Nikolai, and Albert are so talented."
"It was really good. They sound just like they do on the albums, and often times songs sound even better. Even "You're So Right" sounded great. They weren't stiff or boring, they were far from it."
"This show was absolutely amazing! One of the best -- if not the best -- concerts I've ever seen. The Strokes were fantastic! "

They had 12 bartenders in the stage area and a ton more in the area outside the room with the stage. I never had to wait for a drink. Plenty of space so you didn’t feel crowded. Only venue I felt safe at during this Corona Virus outbreak. Was so clean and spacious!!
Show was amazing. Julian sounded INCREDIBLE. They’ve still got it (I’ve been told). This was my 1st time seeing them, so glad the Seattle show wasn’t cancelled.
Been waiting decades to see this show. Band didn’t disappoint, ticketmaster app was easy, venue is not the best.
Fantastic sound and both bands had great sets. WAMU was clean and comfortable. Great night if music.
Thank you so much for not cancelling this show—for my own selfish reasons. It was a dream come true to see one of my fav bands live after all these years
The Show itself was a bit, not great. The lighting was off, the sound balance was spotty. Not sure if the band actually wanted to even be up there. The WaMu Theater Staff were amazing though! Especially in a time when crowds can be scary. a bit disappointed I spend 75$ each on two tickets.
While the crowd was pretty disrespectful to each other, The Strokes put on an amazing show. Before the Strokes came on people had to get escorted out for being disruptive and hurtful towards others. I've been a fan for the last ten years and this was my first time seeing them. I traveled from Vermont for this show and it was completely worth it. I was really struck by the Bernie chants that broke out more than once! (Vote!) The setlist had a bunch of songs I would not have expected to hear, like Evening Sun and Heart in a Cage.
The concert was amazing but I was a little frustrated how it took more than two hours to beggin and to have lasted less than one hour
I’m a big fan of the Strokes, and have wanted to see them for years. I was sitting in the back of the stadium, and the sound quality was so terrible that it was impossible to hear the lyrics, or even enjoy the songs overall. We had to stuff our ears with paper to block the brutal sounds coming out of the speakers. I feel Rogers arena destroyed my experience.
The Strokes delivered and then some, a powerful experience. Non-stop energy. The crowd loved it. So inspiring, especially in the context of virus-frenzy. Reaffirmed the value of being together despite everything and sharing music. Thanks to the Strokes for giving us an unforgettable experience.

I’m a big Strokes fan and loved that they did many hits. But it was too loud so the vocals got buried and the music sounded like spaghetti. Dark, poor light show with no large screen also disappointed as you couldn’t see the band.
The opener was too loud by about ten times, I was wearing musicians earplugs and it still hurt, the bass vibrated through my entire body. When the strokes came on their mic cut in and out.
I’ve been to a lot of shows at Rogers and the sound quality at this was was bad. Also, the bar closed as soon as the band went on... kinda strange.
Music would have been better served if volume had of been slightly lower. I don’t mind loud music, but past a certain point vocals get lost & music distorts. Lighting was fairly no frills, which isn’t necessarily bad, but often couldn’t see where musicians were on the stage.
The Strokes made a mockery of this concert. They were under enthused with being there and couldn’t hide it. They didn’t have their set list memorized and had to constantly stop the concert to talk. It was an extremely disappointing show.
Loved them! They’re always amazing. ❤️❤️❤️ Can’t wait for the next show and their next album.
Band Showed up late Lead singer was obviously impaired Band played well; singer = messed up! Lots of starting and stopping Audio quality was terrible in the arena Band played maybe an hour of music Waste of money...
The show was great. Loved Hinds, and Mac Demarco, and The Strokes! I was in GA right in front of the sound board. Wasn’t sure who the other guy was. What sucked was that The Strokes came on 30 minutes late, and the sound engineer sucks. There were many people telling him to fix the sound cause you could barely hear Julian, from The Strokes’ vocals and you could barely hear the drums. He just brushed it off and didn’t fix the sound at all, which is so unprofessional. The lighting was ok there were a lot of strobes (which I get, it is a show) but almost everything was all strobes so you could barely see them at all, especially if you are GA. It was a fun New Year’s Eve concert though. Just wish the sound didn’t suck.
Sounds was brutal, echoing and you couldn't hear a word Julian said. Was so disappointed, was visiting from Chicago and brought my friends from NY and we left early. Felt so cheated.
