As we previously reported, The Strokes are
planning a headlining tour this Fall. The band recently pulled out of a
supporting slot on the Weezer tour due after vocalist Julian Casablancas
injured his knee.
The band has yet to officially announce
the tour details but MTV news is reporting tour dates they received from
the bands management that has the tour set to kick off in Portland, Maine
on October 1st.
The Strokes are currently scheduled to
play three US dates this month with The White Stripes in Detroit (Aug 9)
and New York City (Aug 14-15) before heading overseas to take part in the
annual Leeds, Reading and "Gig On The Green" Festivals in the
UK.
Despite all of the hype and critical praise,
to date the Strokes debut album Is This It? has only sold a reported
640,000 copies since its release last October. Which is a respectable
amount but far less than expected with all of the buzz that has surrounding
this group.
