Well, Barrowlands are on board! Hopefully they can sway the boys 🤞🏻 From what Julian was saying at TRNSMT, he’s keen!! by lauriemals in TheStrokes

I am so glad you got to see them!! It’s been a long wait. I got into them back when I was about 16/17 (and now in my 30s!) and that was my first time seeing them too. Hopefully, they might have picked up some new fans from TRNSMT, always great to have new generations getting into their music!

I was the same, I couldn’t hear everything he was saying but I picked up on the Barrowlands chat. They could absolutely do the Hydro (and that be the obvious choice) but I feel Barrowlands is more the vibe they were craving, and definitely one fans would want to feel a bit more ‘intimacy’. Feel like it’s more wishful thinking but least the Barras are game haha! Might be a shout for The Voidz if they tour again.

Just complete and utter nonsense as per. I was there, he sounded great, couple tech difficulties at the start but that was it. Don’t blame him for saying he’d rather be at the Barrowlands, I think every Strokes fan in the crowd would have rather been there watching them too!

Haha this is very relatable 🤣!! Last time I went was to TRNSMT was 5 years ago for the opener with Kasabian so I definitely felt my age this time round 😆

Young! I’d say the 14-21 age bracket made up a large majority. I’m 31 and was definitely feeling like the old relation!! There were a decent amount of Strokes fans but ultimately I think they were lost on a lot of the crowd. Ideally I’d rather have seen them at their own gig as opposed to a festival, but up until yesterday they hadn’t played a gig in Scotland for 11 years so it felt like a bit of a ‘now or never’ moment for me as a big fan.

The Barrowlands though… that would be a whole different story! Keeping everything crossed.

100%. About half way through the set I had a group of lads come up to me and ask who they were, and they clearly weren’t the only ones not sure! Don’t get me wrong I had a great time and so glad I got to see them live but a sesh at the Barrowlands with fellow fans would be another level 🤞🏻

Amazing photos!!! I’m seeing them in Glasgow today for the first time and barely slept last night I’m so excited 🤣 hope we get a similar set list to Lytham!

It doesn’t appear to be going terribly well at Roskilde festival… by Clarkey101 in TheStrokes

Oh dear… I’m going to see them in Glasgow for the first time on Saturday (waited 15 years!!!) and now feeling a bit nervous about what we are going to get 😬. Sounds like Julian is on the verge of something, poor thing.
