The Strokes are back!

The Strokes have millions of fans all over the world, and every one of them will be happy with their most recent tweet.

Despite an unfortunate typo, they announced that they would be performing at Bilbao BBK, an annual festival that takes place in the Spanish city.

They will be performing alongside Brockhampton, Weezer, Vince Staples and loads more deadly acts in what looks like an amazing festival.

Tickets start from €125 and you can buy them here, if you’re tempted.

Music website NME are referring to the show as part of a “global comeback”, so we can only hope that they return to Ireland at some point in the near future.

This marks the band’s first show in two years, although Julian Casablancas performed in Dublin not too long ago with his new band The Voidz.

And if this news has got you in a ‘The Strokes’ kind of mood, you can read JOE’s interview with Casablancas here.
