Julian Casablancas and co. are due to return to the stage together for two headline gigs in San Francisco this month, ahead of appearances at Coachella 2026. They’ll make stops at various other US festivals, including Outside Lands and Just Like Heaven, as well as Japan’s Summer Sonic.

Last night (Tuesday March 31), The Strokes seemingly hinted that new material could also be imminent as they prepare to head back out on the road.

The group took to Instagram Stories to share a link alongside a ’90s PC-style notepad logo. The post directed fans to a Laylo page, which includes some similarly old-school artwork. This shows four horses pulling a cassette tape across the desert.

On Reddit, one fan shared a screenshot of a text message they had received, in which the band promised that they’d “try to share something soon”.
