The Strokes lock in October 2 Queens show at Flushing Meadows Corona Park
The Strokes will play a hometown show at Flushing Meadows Corona Park on October 2, putting the strokes back in Queens with a 4 p.m. start and doors at 3 p.m. The lineup around the date is built for a large outdoor turnout: Beach House, TV on the Radio, and Fcukers are supporting.
Queens tickets open June 18
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Thursday June 18 through Axs.com, with early access beginning at 10am on Wednesday July 17. Queens residents get a 20% discount, a local break on a night priced between $291 and $623 for ages 16 and over.
Flushing Meadows Corona Park address
The venue is listed at 14 United Nations Avenue South, Corona, NY, 11368, which makes this a straightforward buy-or-bypass decision for New York-area buyers. If you want the cheaper resident rate, the timing matters more than the billing: the discount is tied to Queens, but the ticket window still opens first for the general sale.
From Manhattan to the park
The Strokes were formed in Manhattan in 1998 by Dwight School classmates Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, and Fabrizio Moretti, with Albert Hammond Jr. and Nikolai Fraiture added after the band formed. They released The Modern Age in 2001, then Is This It later that year, before The New Abnormal won Best Rock Album at the 2021 Grammys.
Reality Awaits arrives on July 24, so this Queens date lands as part of a live rollout with fresh material, a Grammy-winning back catalog, and a hometown setting that should draw the fastest ticket buyers toward the presale rather than the general sale. For local fans, the practical move is simple: mark the June 18 on-sale, watch the July 17 early access, and decide quickly if the resident discount makes the price range easier to swallow.
