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