The Strokes - The Modern Age Live Performance at Isle of Wight
At the time of The Strokes' live performance of 'The Modern Age' on June 12, 2010, they were promoting their fourth studio album, 'Angles,' which had been released earlier that year. This marked a significant moment as it was their return to live shows after a hiatus, igniting excitement among fans. 'Angles' was notable for a shift in their sound, incorporating new influences while still holding onto that signature Strokes vibe. Interestingly, the Isle of Wight Festival performance came shortly after the band had faced some internal tensions and lineup changes, showcasing their resilience and commitment to their musical evolution. Seeing them perform live at such a pivotal moment felt like witnessing a reunion of sorts, as they carved their path forward while staying true to their roots.
