The Strokes

In August 2011, when The Strokes performed at the Reading Festival, they were promoting their fourth studio album, "Angles," which had been released earlier that year in March. This marked a significant return for the band after a five-year hiatus, as their last album before "Angles," "First Impressions of Earth," came out in 2006. The performance was notable as it showcased the band's renewed energy and commitment to live music after a period of experimentation and lineup changes. Additionally, the setlist included classic hits alongside material from "Angles," reflecting their evolution while still appealing to long-time fans. This performance at the Reading Festival served as an indication of their successful reentry into the music scene, highlighting both their enduring popularity and their ability to engage with the audience through a mix of old and new tracks.
