Info
On October 17, 2026 at Unipol Arena in Italy, The Strokes bring “Reality Awaits” to the stage with that tight New York snap they’ve been refining since the late 90s. Expect interlocking guitars, a straight-ahead rhythm section, and Julian Casablancas’ deadpan delivery riding concise, nervous songs that move easily between indie rock, garage grit, and post-punk edges. From the early breakthrough wave sparked by The Modern Age and Is This It to the broader palette of later records and the Rick Rubin-produced The New Abnormal, their set promises that same sense of urgency, just sharper around the corners.
Alex Cameron opens the night with his narrative-driven pop-rock: restrained synths, mid-tempo grooves, and a deep vocal tone that plays like a series of late-night characters stepping into the light. His songwriting leans into detailed scenes and big choruses, with the sleek, softer synth-pop shading of his more recent era.
Fat White Family add a rougher charge, drawing from post-punk, garage, art rock and psychedelia. Led by Lias Saoudi, they’ve built a reputation on tense, dissonant riffs, abrupt twists and darkly ironic energy—perfect to kick the evening into something more volatile before the headliners land.
