The Strokes tickets
The Strokes played Newcastle and Manchester in October 2026, and no further UK date is listed: how their tickets were sold.
Updated 28 Oct 2026
The Strokes' two UK arena nights in late October 2026 were listed by Live Nation UK under the title Reality Awaits. Utilita Arena Newcastle came first, on Sunday 25 October, and the last was Co-op Live in Manchester on Monday 26 October at 6.30pm. Live Nation UK and Ticketmaster UK were the official sellers, and no further UK date is listed.
When the official sellers were checked on 25 October 2026, Ticketmaster UK showed low availability for the Manchester night, while Newcastle had sold out before its date.
With both nights now played, no UK date by The Strokes is on sale anywhere for the moment.

How to get The Strokes tickets
UK tour dates 2026/27
The band played Newcastle on the Sunday and finished their UK run in Manchester the next night, Monday 26 October, an evening show listed for 6.30pm.
Manchester: Co-op Live
The Monday night was at Co-op Live, the UK's largest indoor arena, on the Etihad Campus next to Manchester City's stadium. Take Metrolink to the Etihad Campus stop beside the venue, as the Velopark and Holt Town stops close after events. Children and younger teenagers are not allowed on the standing floor, so families need seats, and payment inside is contactless, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay only.
On foot, the step-free CityLink route from Piccadilly Station, marked by blue lampposts, runs through Ancoats, New Islington and Holt Town, and the venue puts the walk at about 25 minutes from the city centre. Fans are asked not to arrive before 9am, camping outside is not allowed and no numbered wristbands are issued. One bag per person is allowed, no larger than A4, and backpacks are turned away.
Prices by venue and section
Both nights have been played, so this is a record of how resale prices sat in October rather than a guide to buying.
In Manchester, the upper tier was the entry point in October's listings and the lower tier the dearest, with floor standing in between. On the venue's plan, the upper tier is Level 3, above the premium seats of Level 2, and the lower tier is Level 1, just above the standing floor.
Manchester was still on sale at face value on 25 October, with low availability at Ticketmaster UK.
Hellotickets listings came from sellers who set their own prices, which could be above face value.
How tickets are sold
Live Nation UK and Ticketmaster UK sold the Manchester date, and on 25 October 2026 Ticketmaster UK's artist page marked it low availability.
Venue websites are less reliable here. The Utilita Arena Newcastle site still read “Buy Tickets” for the sold-out Newcastle night, so a venue label alone does not tell you whether standard tickets remain.
- Newcastle, Sunday 25 October: sold out at Live Nation UK before the night, which left resale as the only way in.
- Manchester, Monday 26 October: still on sale at face value at the 25 October check, with low availability.
If the band announce another UK date, delivery timing will matter on resale close to the show: Hellotickets sends tickets as soon as it receives them from the seller, sometimes up to 1–2 days before the event. Every ticket is authenticated, and its refund policy applies if there is an issue.

Are The Strokes going on tour in 2026?

How much will strokes 2026 tickets be?
Both 2026 UK shows have been played, so no tickets are on sale for now.

Why are tickets for The Strokes so expensive?
On resale, prices are set by the sellers, not by the band or the venues, and they can be above face value.

Manchester still had face-value tickets on 25 October 2026, though Ticketmaster UK showed low availability.
