The Strokes Live Performance of 'The Modern Age' at Isle of Wight Festival

Venue: Seaclose Park Location: Newport, England, United Kingdom Date: June 12, 2010

In June 2010, The Strokes were riding high on the release of their fourth studio album, 'Angles,' which had come out just a few months earlier that March. This recording at the Isle of Wight Festival marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing their evolution since the early 2000s when they first burst onto the scene with 'Is This It.' ‘The Modern Age’ emerged as a fan favorite, blending catchy hooks with Julian Casablancas' distinct vocal stylings. Interestingly, this performance highlighted the band's reunion energy after a bit of a hiatus, as they’d taken a break from the spotlight during the creation of 'Angles.' At this festival, the crowds were electrified, signaling the band’s strong return to form and reminding audiences why they had held a special place in the indie rock landscape.
