The Strokes headlined Day 2 at TRNSMT Festival 2022.

The Strokes returned to Scotland for the first time in over a decade to top the main stage bill at TRNSMT Festival yesterday, the gig arriving shortly before the band visit Australia to continue their live work following the Grammy success of The New Abnormal in 2021.
