That gap has now been filled in emphatic fashion.<\/p>\n<p>The band has announced a massive Oct. 2 performance at Queens\u2019 Flushing Meadows Corona Park, turning the evening into something closer to a one-day festival than a standard tour stop. Joining the Strokes on the bill are Beach House, reunited local art rock heroes TV on the Radio and fast-rising New York dance-punk outfit Fcukers.<\/p>\n<p>Promoted by local company Bowery Presents, the event marks a return to one of New York City\u2019s most iconic outdoor concert sites, as Flushing Meadows Corona Park is also home to the just-wrapped Governors Ball festival.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets go on sale June 18 at 10 a.m. ET, with a fan presale beginning June 17. According to the event\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/nyc.thestrokes.com\/tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ticketing information<\/a>, fans will have multiple options, including General Admission, GA+, VIP and Platinum packages. VIP offerings include premium viewing areas, expedited entry, dedicated bars and upgraded restroom access, while Platinum packages add elevated hospitality experiences and premium amenities.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement arrives as anticipation continues to build for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinmagazine.com\/2026\/05\/the-strokes-nick-valensi-hiatus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reality Awaits<\/a>, the Strokes\u2019 first new album since 2020\u2019s The New Abnormal. The project was originally expected June 26 but has been pushed back to July 24 for unknown reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Strokes performed only six times combined in 2024 and 2025 but will visit such festivals Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees, Sea.Hear.Now and Tokyo\u2019s Summer Sonic through late September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When The Strokes unveiled their 2026 world tour earlier this spring, New York fans immediately noticed one glaring&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[25950,102223,9,24,63,58930,122,124,123,102111,102224],"class_list":["post-263629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-beach-house","tag-fcuckers","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-pushly","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-the-strokes","tag-tv-on-the-radio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
