The Strokes Announce South Florida Show

Following an impressive showcase at Coachella that helped launch their newest era and album rollout, the Strokes are officially hitting the road once again, with South Florida set to get a visit on September 13 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood. 

The upcoming stop also marks the first time in four years that Julian Casablancas and the rest of the band have made their way back to the Sunshine State. Their last appearance in Florida came in 2022, when they joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their stadium tour, leaving many fans wondering how long it would be before they returned for a proper headlining performance of their own. Now, that wait is finally over.

The group appears to be in the middle of a comeback of sorts, fueled by the release of “Going Shopping,” their first new single in years, taken from their upcoming album Reality Awaits. With fresh material finally on the way, excitement around the band has only continued to build. Before their Coachella appearance, the Strokes had played a handful of smaller West Coast shows that left some fans a little unsure about what to expect from this next chapter. There were questions about whether the band would bring the same energy and focus that made them one of the most beloved acts in modern rock.

Those doubts were quickly put to rest. Their Coachella set ended up being one of the most talked-about performances of the festival, earning major praise not only from longtime fans but also from a younger generation discovering, or rediscovering, the band in real time. Even Gen Z audiences were quick to declare that “unc” frontman Julian Casablancas “still got it”, a testament to the frontman’s enduring charisma and the band’s ability to connect across generations. 

The performance itself was packed with classics spanning nearly every phase of their career. Fans were treated to staples like “Reptilia” and “Last Nite,” along with more recent favorites such as “Selfless,” reminding everyone just how deep and consistent the band’s catalog really is. It was the kind of set that balanced nostalgia with renewed momentum, giving older fans the hits they came for while hinting at what this new era could bring.

The Strokes are now fully back on the road, with major festival appearances at Outside Lands and Shakey Knees, along with dates across North America and Europe. As of now, no opening act has been announced for the Florida show, but regardless, this September stop is shaping up to be one of the season’s most anticipated rock events in South Florida.
