The Strokes are winging their way to Australia for a blink-and-you’ll-miss it tour this July.
The rock quintet will play shows in Sydney and Melbourne for the first time since the release of their 2006 album First Impressions of Earth. Something tells me it’s going to be worth the wait. If we’re lucky we’ll also get a sneak peek at album number four which the band are currently recording with Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (U2, Beck).
Of course, after such a long absence we can expect the tickets to sell quickly when they go on sale on April 12. Ticketek will sell tickets for the July 29 performance at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, and Ticketmaster will handle the July 30 show at Melbourne’s Festival Hall.
