Everyone knows Juicebox is the greatest tune the Strokes ever produced.

It's a scientific fact

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

The greatest Strokes tune is Ize of the World.

Strokes have never played over an hour and a half it seems and have almost no tracks over 5 minutes. Seems that a Pyramid headliner would be tough on those stats alone, let alone them being like 20 years out of date, past their prime and in almost no demand. There must be better options for white guitar playing chaps?

I really wish The Strokes had continued down this arena rock sound that they went for with their third album. The shows around that time sounded HUGE; made older songs sound bigger to fit the new style (tonnes of reverb, echo, more power behind Julian's vocals). 

The best live footage/performance I've seen from them:

I was at that. Last Nite was alright like. Saw them earlier that year at their own gig, they played for ages. Im just not a fan.

Enjoyed Almond Hammond Jnr better the time I saw him. 

Oxegen though, they (and T in the Park) had some cash back then

I absolutely love The Strokes, but I'd be amazed to see them headline the Pyramid now.

They're headlining a festival in Lytham...

So is Diana Ross, and she’ll be the fourth name on the poster….

 

 

 

(but yeah you’re right)

Saw the Strokes headline a festival last October.  They started late, attempted to finish very early and then likely realized they needed to play more songs for contractual reasons, and complained about the sound mix.  Julian also complained about having to provide proof of vaccination earlier that day.  An all around shit show.

The Strokes at the Roundhouse was the best gig in recent times.

Hopefully they can their tour so they don’t have to stink up Primavera.

Sorry, dab down*

Different strokes and all, but that line up does absolutely nothing for me at all

Damn you have to hand it to The Lathums. Talk about a meteoric rise.

Doesn’t do much for me either but it’s undeniably impressive for a mid tier festival.

Yeah. It’s not for me *in the main either. I live in Cornwall and haven’t been for years, I’m 20-25 years too old for it! But very good for boardmasters, especially as they’ve had such a bad run of luck.

 

*There a bunch of ppl on there I’d see tho for sure

I’m not sure you can call it a mid-tier festival anymore tbh

Yeah. 50,000 tickets at nearly 250 quid a throw puts it ahead of the mid tier crowd, and approaching the majors.
