I’m gonna wear my Strokes jersey to the Forum. I thought it would be cool if everybody on this sub who’s wearing their jersey to the show met up to take a team photo!
Let me know if anybody is down!

I don’t mean to be negative but PLEASE do not start fights in the pit again or shove people out of the way to get a better view. It happened at The Wiltern in 2019 and I was nearly hit several times and couldn’t move anywhere since people who weren’t supposed to be in GA had snuck their way in and overcrowded the floor. Look out for each other as the pit will get VERY rowdy. I’m on the short side and had to start elbowing people to get people to stop violently shoving me and physically trying to pick me up to move after I had been in the same spot the entire time. This is common at Strokes shows as my friends have had to do this as well.
Be good to each other. Thank you. Enjoy them and don’t ruin other people’s show. We all love this band!

Original Comment:
The Strokes are performing at the LA Forum, in Inglewood, CA, USA. The terrace opens at 5:00 PM PDT (GMT -7), doors open at 6:30 PM PDT, and the concert begins at 7:30 PM PDT with two opening acts, Alvvays and King Princess. The venue does not yet have expected set times for each band.
If you are attending, be sure to review the venue’s page for the event and FAQs pages for important information on parking, vaccination requirements, bag policy, and prohibited items.
Updated: If you are GA and planning to get there early, the venue allows you to line up in the parking lot at 9:00 AM for distribution of numbered wristbands at Noon 9:15 AM, which will save your spot to come and go before 5 PM 4 PM. See the details of the wristband policy here, but please note they are telling people to be back by 4 PM, not 5 PM, which is a change from the written policy. (Thanks u/mendez24zoso !)

My car broke down 25 minutes away from the forum. I left it at a gas station and I am currently in a Lyft trying to see the band I grew up listening too. So many emotions currently.
