The Strokes announce short 2025 tour. Get tickets today
The Strokes are getting their reps in.
Ahead of their two weekends of headlining gigs at the 2025 Austin City Limits Festival, Julian Casablancas and co. are teaming up for a pair of 'warm-up' concerts.
These shows will take place at Las Vegas' Cosmopolitan on Saturday, Sept. 27 and El Paso's Abraham Chavez Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
Special guests have been teased for both shows; at the time of publication, they have yet to be announced.
This quick flurry of concerts will be the first for the garage rockers since March 2024 when they performed a one-off at Chicago's Credit Union 1 Arena to support U.S. Representative Kina Collins. That night, the scuzzy, fuzzy quintet delivered a 16-song set according to Set List FM. Highlights included fan favorites like 'Is This It,' 'New York City Cops,' 'Soma,' 'Someday' and 'Reptilia' as well as the band's sublime, under-appreciated gem 'Call It Fate, Call It Karma.'
'Most of the members focus on delivering a tight sound, resulting in them standing still on stage while lead singer Julian walks and dances around, waiting for his verses,' Prowl Radio wrote in a review of the show.
'…in regular fashion, Julian had a ball on stage, rambling and joking around between songs, delivering unhinged remarks such as 'Where is my elixir? My steroid juice!' with maniacal laughter as he drank and also yelled, 'People of Chicago… REPENT!''
Over the last year, Casablancas, 46, has spent time fronting his side-group, The Voidz. On July 30, they released a four-song EP titled 'Męġż of Råm,' that sounds wholly unlike The Strokes but is an acquired taste worth trying; we can't get enough of the experimental half laid-back/half metal auto-tune aesthetic the group has cultivated.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Strokes shows and festival appearances on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the two one-off shows is Friday, Aug. 8.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

The payoff to the short tour goes down in Austin on Oct. 3-5 and Oct. 10-12.
Both weekends, the 'Reptilia' rockers will be joined by big names like Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Cage The Elephant, Doechii and Rilo Kiley.
Personally, we're most excited to see Dr. Dog but that might just be us.

The Strokes set list
Last March, The Strokes performed in Chicago. Here's what they took to the stage at that gig, according to Set List FM:
01.) 'Selfless'
02.) 'Hard to Explain'
03.) 'You Talk Way Too Much' (First time live since 2015)
04.) 'The Adults Are Talking'
05.) 'Take It or Leave It'

12.) 'New York City Cops'
Encore
13.) 'Call It Fate, Call It Karma' (With extended outro of Julian singing bits of 'Riders on the Storm' by the Doors)
14.) 'Soma'
15.) 'Someday'
Encore II
16.) 'Reptilia'
Julian Casablancas new music
On July 30, Casablancas' The Voidz unveiled the four-song EP 'Męġż of Råm.'
It's a weird, unbridled, pure artistic expression. Tight harmonies, lush soundscapes and bizarre yet beautiful vocal choices by Jules make for a fascinating listening experience that we can't help but revisit over and over. Although we love The Strokes wholeheartedly, this side project diversion allows Casablancas to let his freak flag fly in a way his OG band never would.
In the event, you'd like to listen we recommend starting with the paranoid anthem 'Blue Demon.' The almost four-minute bop is like a cursed 8-bit video game soundtrack that somehow makes you want to get up and shake it.
We're also partial to the creepy yet tranquil 'Russian Coney Island,' chilled-out fantasy 'Unholy Lover' and almost ambient fever dream 'Drifto.'

Trey Anastasio announces 3 NYC Beacon Theatre shows. Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. In fall 2020, Trey Anastasio was performing live when virtually no one else was. Rather than sit out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Phish frontman headlined eight 'Beacon Jams 2020' concerts at NYC's Beacon Theatre for an audience of zero. The shows were live-streamed for his adoring Phans and raised 'more than $1.2 million to establish the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program,' according to Jam Bands. Five years removed from the now historic act, the jam band pioneer is headed back to the Upper West Side for three more shows at the Beacon Theatre on Friday, Nov. 28, Saturday, Nov. 29 and Sunday, Nov. 30. 'The performances will feature a range of formats, including Trey Anastasio Band and the return of The Rescue Squad Strings,' Anastasio shared via Instagram. 'Proceeds from the shows will benefit the the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program.' At the final 'Beacon Jams' show on Nov. 27, 2020, the singer-guitarist performed 19 songs, according to Set List FM. That included Phish songs like 'Carini,' 'Love Is What We Are,' 'Pebbles and Marbles,' 'Fast Enough For You' and 'First Tube.' According to Anastasio, 'The Beacon Jams shows were the most artistically satisfying thing I've ever worked on. They meant so much to everyone involved–not just the audience, but the musicians as well. Everyone was hungry for music and connection, and somehow we found a way to create community in the middle of such a messed-up, isolating moment. Even the name felt meaningful–like we were shining a searchlight into the fog and manifesting something positive out of something so negative.' Prior to the Beacon run, Phish will perform at festivals, amphitheaters and coliseums all over North America from Sept. 12-21. Fans Phans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Trey Anastasio shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the November Beacon Theatre residency is Friday, Aug. 15. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Phish tour schedule 2025 When Trey isn't putting on solo shows, he'll play with the band that made his name. If you'd like to catch them live, here's where you can find Phish this year. Trey Anastasio set list As noted above, Anastasio's final 2020 Beacon Theatre gig took place on Nov. 27. Based on our findings at Set List FM, here's what he performed that evening. 01.) 'Just a Touch' 02.) 'Carini' (Phish song) 03.) 'Mozambique' 04.) 'Burn That Bridge' 05.) 'Cayman Review' 06.) 'Speak to Me' 07.) 'Love Is What We Are' (Phish song) 08.) 'Pebbles and Marbles' (Phish song) (with Rescue Squad Strings) 09.) 'Drifting' 10.) 'Night Speaks to a Woman' 11.) 'Liquid Time' 12.) 'Fast Enough for You' (Phish song) 13.) 'Shine' 14.) 'Show of Life' (Trey Anastasio Band song) 15.) 'Ether Sunday' 16.) 'Simple Twist Up Dave' 17.) 'Slave to the Traffic Light' (Phish song) (with Rescue Squad Strings) 18.) 'First Tube' (Phish song) 19.) 'March Party' Trey Anastasio new music On Sept. 20, 2024, Anastasio dropped 'Atriums.' Comprised of six tracks — all of which are anywhere from 14 to 16 minutes long — the record is a spacey, experimental trip, allowing the freewheeling Big Red to noodle, mess around and fiddle finding lush, feedback-heavy soundscapes along the way. To dive deep into the trippy and sometimes foreboding offering, you can find the expansive, mind-altering 'Atriums' here. More recently, Trey collaborated with Guerilla Toss and Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus on the angsty single 'Red Flag to Angry Bull.' Huge jam bands on tour in 2025 While Trey might be the face of unpredictable live rock and roll, many other artists who promise 'no two set lists are the same' will be on the road these next few months.

What it's like to bring a three-year-old to a Mets game at Citi Field
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Two years ago, I wrote a story for The Post about my wife and I taking our one-year-old to an early afternoon Mets game at Citi Field. That experience — although a bit fussy and tantrum-y at times — was a pretty easy one. A few innings in, our little one had fallen asleep on her mom's lap and stayed mostly knocked out through 'cheers, jeers, walk up music and all sorts of other loud noises.' This year's Flushing visit went a bit differently. As every parent knows, three-year-olds are nothing like one-year-old infants. Mostly, they're mobile in a way very few 12-month-old babies are. Simply put, we wouldn't just be sitting and watching the Mets this time around. No, siree, going to a ball game with a three-year-old is a whole different ballgame. Thankfully, Citi Field is more than equipped to give kids the time of their life when they visit. So, I jotted down some notes (when I wasn't paying close attention to my rambunctious youngster, of course) for Amazins fans that have been debating taking their toddlers to a game. Here's a quick account of our family's day at the Mets' home field. Buying tickets Before heading out on the 7, we needed tickets. The past two years, we opted to sit in the shaded 300 sections along the third base line for our mid-day games. This go-round, we thought it might be fun to try a different part of the park and opted for Section 140 in center field right next to the Big Apple. We thought it might be fun for our little one to witness the signature fruit pop up and steam after a Mets four-bagger. As always, Vivid Seats had just what we needed. I snagged a trio of tix next to each other, transferred them to my Apple Wallet and was ready to go. Time to meet the Mets. LGM, baby. 4 Matt Levy Transit Unfortunately, I do not own a car. However, my wife and I are longtime MetroCard-carrying MTA riders and have perfected the art of traveling with a toddler. Essentially, the kid needs agency but eyes on them at all times. That's something the two of us working together as a team can provide. To make this happen, we opted to take our tot to the day game in a foldable stroller. To make sure we beat the rush, the three of us left for the 1:10 game two hours early. That way, not only would we likely be guaranteed seats on the 7 train (which we ended up grabbing with ease), we could also take our sweet time sauntering from the Mets-Willets platform to the ramps and stairs. This plan (my wife's, I can't take credit) worked quite well. In fact, we even had time to apply very necessary sunscreen and bug spray on the journey over. Now, that's efficiency. Once we de-trained at the penultimate Flushing-bound stop, the three of us slowly but surely strolled to the park while letting our sweet kid safely treat the subway station like her own personal playground. I carried the stroller down the steps, my wife held the tyke's hand all the way (other than when she picked the kid up to cross the street, safety first) and pretty soon we were at the entrance of the park that David Wright built. Inside the ballpark After working our way through a short line — the wonders of arriving somewhere early — we quickly located our seats and set up shop, dropping off our stroller at the rear of our section. Now, that we were situated, it was time for our small fry to take in the spectacle. Before getting too far, we spotted Mrs. Met. Way, way, way back in 2023, our daughter cried when she met the mascot (who was nothing but nice). She was right to- I don't know if, at just one-years-old, she had seen a person with a large baseball for a head at that time. Also, her nap had just ended. Clearly, there were a lot of factors at play. Our meeting on the centerfield concourse couldn't have gone better this time. All smiles all around. After taking some photos, I declared 'these might be holiday card-worthy' and genuinely meant that bold statement. Big ups to Mr. and Mrs. Met. Not only are they incredibly friendly but are also happy and patient enough to take multiple snaps. Not to disparage DisneyWorld but this was a far superior experience. From there, we visited the Mets Museum. Not the Hall of Fame in the rotunda but the small room next to the batting cages. This cozy space is perfect for fans of all ages. Adults will appreciate the infamous Mookie Wilson-Bill Buckner ball (it's just sitting there! Seriously!) and impressive collection of David Wright memorabilia. Meanwhile, lil bambinos and bambinas will find themselves entertained by the pull-out drawers they can open housing surprise Mets ephemera under the charming, nostalgia-heavy exhibits. Plus, you can measure your height against Mets greats, which is always neat. Who knew Mr. Met was 6'10? 4 Matt Levy The game First pitch was at 1:10. Not only were we seated but I had the pleasure of teaching my attentive child about the National Anthem (she quickly picked up on putting her hand over her heart) and the first pitch (she put her hands over her eyes like I did after the ball dribbled to home plate). The next three hours blew by. I got up a few times to grab grub — scooped Shake Shack for my wife and procured Nathan's chicken fingers for myself (they might be the most affordably priced meal at the venue, although I was intrigued by Tai Thai, Wok and Roll, the Fry Factory and a Dole Whip treat) — and then had a few more walks with the gang. We debated letting our little one play tee-ball at the field in between the center field concourse speed pitch and batting cage but decided she was a little too young. Maybe next year. Shortly after, my wife generously procured a Mr. Met doll for the kid from the team shop. Perfect souvenir. As you can tell, she's a great mom. Back at our seats, the 'five borough race' where mascots representing Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx run through the outfield barely grabbed our little's attention. Oh, well. Can't win them all. As for the game itself, no comment. This contest was smack dab in the middle of the Mets' slide. Let's just say they didn't win and let bygones be bygones. Still, even though the Metropolitans were reeling, there was still a good feeling in Flushing. Fans were cheery, spirits were high and one guy in our section even led a loud, impassioned chant hoping he'd be the catalyst for the Mets rally. Unfortunately, he wasn't. Amazingly, our kid slept through it all. She was out by the sixth inning. This was a big day for her. Side note: While eating my chicken fingers, my daughter played with my ketchup packet the whole time. I can't say for certain this is universal but be prepared. 4 Matt Levy Heading out On our way back to the 7 after the final pitch (which was just as sad as the first on the way in), the exits were more crowded than I've ever seen. Just wall-to-wall people everywhere you looked. So, rather than try and squeeze in (or employ our trick where we take the train one stop deeper into Flushing and transfer back to the Manhattan-bound 7, feel free to steal that one), we opted to drop into Corona Park. Once we'd walked past tennis courts — sadly I didn't spot Jannik Sinner or Aryna Sabalenka training for the upcoming US Open (which I won't be taking my daughter to for a few years) — we found a playground with slides. Although there were no swings, which is a true travesty for any three-year-old, we made do. When all was said and done, my daughter asked 'are we going to the beach later today?' Not today, kid. Not today. Final verdict Citi Field is secretly a wonderland for three-year-olds. There are fun-filled, baseball-themed activities sprinkled all over the park waiting to be discovered. All you have to do is seek them out. Just make sure you're ready to explore rather than park yourself at your seat. Otherwise, you might miss out on making some truly unforgettable memories with your toddler.
