The Strokes have been teasing the upcoming release of their first album in six years, Reality Awaits, for months now, but the band recently announced fans would unfortunately have to wait a little longer. Stereogum reports that the band has pushed the release date for the album by four weeks, with a new release date of July 24. The album was initially set to drop on June 26.
In that same press release, however, the Strokes also announced a stacked hometown show this fall in New York City. On OCtober 2, the Strokes will play Flushing Meadows Corona Park with support from Beach House, TV On The Radio and Fcukers.
