The Strokes announce that their next album, “Reality Awaits,” will be released later than originally planned. Multiple outlets report the album was initially scheduled for June 26, but the band pushes the release back by about four weeks. The revised release date is July 24, according to the reports.
In addition to the delay, The Strokes announce a hometown New York show featuring Beach House, TV on the Radio, and The Fcukers. The coverage characterizes the event as a major homecoming performance and presents the listed lineup as part of the band’s upcoming announcement.
Taken together, the reporting indicates a shift in the album’s timing alongside plans for a promotional or celebratory live date in New York with several other established acts. No additional information about the reason for the postponement or changes to the album content appears in the provided excerpts.
