About the gig:

The Strokes need little introduction to the Australasian audiences. Last November the band tantalised a privileged few with a 'secret' gig at Sydney's Gaelic Theatre, which sold out in just five minutes. Fans begged for more shows and now The Strokes are delivering with a tour of Australia and New Zealand this August.

Renowned for their electrifying live shows, The Strokes will showcase songs from their latest album First Impressions of Earth. Pefromances from the band's worldwide promo tour last year had both critics and fans alike in a spin.

"This band can get 8,000 people dancing, cheering and even crowd-surfing with their stunningly simplistic approach, both visually and musically" Toronto Sun

Fans should be ready when tickets go on sale on Friday 23 June at 9am sharp. Make sure you snap them up straight away because these shows will sell out!
