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. They earned attention from major label execs after gaining widespread popularity for their intense live shows and with the release of their 2001 EP The Modern Age. They released their debut full-length album Is This It that same year, receiving universal acclaim from critics and fans and landing on Rolling Stone's Top 10 Debuts of All Time list. The five-piece has has continued to rule the charts with four more Top 10 albums over the course of the last decade, earning numerous awards and accolades in the process. They've become one of the most iconic rock acts of the era thanks to their collection of indie jams, and fans can experience their first-rate showmanship on full display every time they tour.
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! "

Amazing show! Great place. Monday was cold the weather but the show was incredible
Amazing show! It was my first time seeinh them live and they definitely did not disappoint!
The Strokes are my favorite band and being able to see them live meant that I could cross one thing off my bucket list. These guys were outstanding! It souned as if I was playing one of their records but 10 times louder, and I love that. The show is an unforgttable expepericence, however, the security at the venue was disappointing. They did not do anything about the disorder at the show. I had to make my way to the back of the room because I couldn't breathe and the people around me were pulling my hair and tugging me down to the floor. I tried giiving my hand to the man at the front but he did not care to help me. The next morning when I woke up, I was sore and had bruises on my body. Other than that, it was ab amazing night. I would see them again anyday!
This was hands down the best concert I have been to!! They mixed their playlist with old and new music! Everyone was definitely feeling it! LOVED IT!!!
Amazing concert, Julian Casablancas is a genius and a beast!!! The band did such an awesome job and killed the show .... Wohooo
It was great the sound was alright. The only thing I didn't like about the show was how people threw beer everywhere and also how no one managed when there was fights in the crowd.
did all the oldies but goodies and the new material. well balanced set list. everyone sounded amazing. the crowd was very pleased by the look of everyone around us (and us as well) jumping to the tunes
What an excellent show! Seeing The Strokes together was a treat! Albert Hammond Jr rocked it out to open up the show as well! What a perfect combo!!! Only thing that is wild is The GA floor of The Chelsea is bouncy. Feels like you're falling into the floor. Your body adjusts, but still wild when the crowd starts jumping to the music. GA better than the seats which are like theatre style seats around the floor.
What can I say The Strokes are as always amazing! Only thing I wish they played Vegas for more than just a day or come back sooner, once a yr at least. They are the kind of band that don't need artificial sound adjustments they sound just as incredible live as on record... Blow the roof of guys lets set the room on fire!
The experience was amazing! Everyone had so much energy & the floor was moving from everyone jumping at once to the music. I was disheartened because I did not get to meet Julian Casablancas or any band member. I've been a fan for 13 years & still enjoy them. They are an incredible group. I also had to watch from the back because tall people blocked my view.
this was the best concert of my existence. I did not stop crying and neither did the crowd. I recommend this concert even if ur into country or some weird stuff the strokes changed my life. it's been three days and I haven't been able to get out of bed. still in shock.
One of the craziest, coolest concerts I've been to. Julian Casablancas such an amazing voice and it was awesome to see Albert Hammond's band. They were all absolutely incredible and I'm so happy I got to see them. The crowd was amazing, the sit list was perfect, and the talent brought by all of the band members was unforgettable.
For my first concert nothing could have been better then to have seen The Strokes in concert
Great show, great band. I wish I could go see them again.
I cried it was so good. The floor was shaking with the crowd. They sounded just like they do on the album except better. Seeing them was the best thkg I've ever done.
solid......lovable....................................
Finally got to see them 4 hours to drive. Totally will watch them again in Vegas when they play again.
The venue was good size, the show was simply fabulous. I would definitely recommend this show to all my friends
Great venue but drinks are ridiculously expensive. Loved the Strokes!
It was amazing from start to finish! When they locked in with Barely Legal I completely lost my friends but I didn't care. It was just awesome to be there. And I didn't think I was going to be close to the stage. The crowd kept swaying back and fourth and we all could have kept falling and there was so much sweat after the show everybody looked drenched but it didn't really matter because everyone had a great time including me. I will talk about celebrating my 18th BIRTHDAY with my favorite band in the city that I lived in. It was cool because I could just walk home. I didn't live far from the strip.
