The Strokes are scheduled to play Hard Rock Live in Hollywood on Sunday, September 13, at 7 p.m. Here’s what fans should know before the Reality Awaits North America stop, plus how to build out the rest of the night.
The Strokes’ Reality Awaits North America stop at Hard Rock Live is drawing attention now because the Hollywood date is locked for Sunday, September 13, 2026, with a 7 p.m. start at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. Tickets start at $65, and doors open one hour before showtime, giving fans a clear pre-show checkpoint before the band’s South Florida visit.
Why fans are talking about this show
Fans are focused on this date because it is part of The Strokes' Reality Awaits North America tour, supporting the band's seventh studio album, Reality Awaits, released July 24, 2026. The Hollywood show follows the Tampa stop on September 12, adding another South Florida anchor to the run.
The tour story right now
Reality Awaits, released July 24, 2026 through RCA and Cult Records, is The Strokes' seventh studio album and their first since 2020's The New Abnormal. Produced by Rick Rubin across nine tracks, it is the record this world tour, routed through North America, the UK, Europe and Japan, is built to showcase.
What recent tour stops have shown
One notable change: guitarist Nick Valensi is sitting out this tour, with Steve Schiltz of Longwave stepping in, so the Hollywood set is not the classic five-piece lineup. The Strokes still carry serious pedigree: they won Best Rock Album for The New Abnormal at the 2021 Grammys and helped define New York's early-2000s rock revival after forming in the late 1990s.
What to expect in Hollywood, FL
For Hollywood, the key details are simple: Hard Rock Live hosts the show, the start time is 7 p.m., and doors open one hour before. Expect a set drawing on Reality Awaits alongside the catalog, played by a band touring without Nick Valensi for the first time in years.
