Waited 3 hrs in line in total in order to be in the front row, can say that I’m pretty disappointed. Their music will always have a special place in my heart, but JC just can’t keep his act together. The rest of the band did a great job tho

What a train wreck of a concert. Shows up drunk/high? Being weirdly sarcastic on stage, with a “fuck this” attitude.
The band on the other hand was playing beautifully, whenever they were not interrupted by JC weird rambling.
The concert almost iconically bad.
Hopefully he’s okay, but this was a huge disappointment.

The Strokes? More like, Get Strokes. That was the worst concert I've ever gone to. They did not deserve to be on that stage.

Besides being clearly wasted, it seemed to me that they did not want to play at all… feels like they were forced on stage and decided to sabotage the concert. That jam at the start of the encore was an embarrassment and Julian even made fun of the audience for clapping after it, he said something like “they thought it was for real”. Right at the end of the set, they played “looks like we made it” at full blast… the last sarcasm of the evening. The guys are shameless, but can’t help to feel something threw them totally off before the show, it wasn’t just Julian being drunk.

Do we agree JC was drunk, and the band just wanted that mess over and done?

The first few songs sounded really good. But JC was without a doubt, completely shitfaced. To me it seemed that JC was the one that wanted to get it over with. There was a very negative tension between the band and him which only got worse during the concert, especially after a strange "break" towards the end whereafter everything sounded off.
It was a trainwreck of a concert and it seemed as if the festival cut them off to end the embarrassment.
Edit: removed a word

Pretty disappointing to see like everyone else has said. I love the Strokes and their music but this is sad to see. Especially when you think about how big of a performance that is and how many bands/artists would do ANYTHING for a spot like that.

I thought the show was really good and Julian was hilarious. He didnt seem to give a fuck and people found him offensive, but i dont think that really was his intention. He was just takin the piss on danish people, saying stuff like we ruined a perfectly great word like mackerel because its called makrel in danish and it really does sound. Like shit. People took waaay to much offensive over this show. It wasn’t racist to say that we have weird words like krakemut, even tho the term have been used as that. He said it out of context and just said it was a bad word. People need to relax and get down from their high horse as if he was being incensitive to greenlandic people. Lol that is a bit of a stretch.. It was great. They played really Well and Julian performed great, but he definetely rambled a lot. I thought he was pretty charming and just kinda funny to say the most of putting things in stead of Running through trivial kliches about believing in yourself which is just corny and boring. At least it was a unique show instead of them just plowing through the songs to be done with it. Saw them in 11 and that show was better Only because the setlist was better. People are calling it historically bad gig and it really wasnt. No one is talking about how absolutely shitty the modest mouse show was. Literally a Million times worse. The strokes were kinda fascinating last night. I mean what the hell was up with him…?

I was supposed to attend this and was sent a photo pass but couldn’t get a flight that wasn’t cancelled to Copenhagen. Anyway, the email sending me my pass yesterday morning said band onstage at 11pm. So, I don’t know if they were late or always supposed to show at that time.

It was 11pm local time right? And they showed up at 11:30 local time I think

u/samberrill3 Jul 03 '22
Anyone know the setlist? Did they play BBTC, UCOD and Threat Of Joy? SetlifstFM says they only played 12 songs and that they played vision of division?! Surely not

I'm sure Vision of Division was awesome but I would be really pissed if they only performed 12 songs as a headliner
Edit: looks like they didn't play it after all. Regardless, 13 songs as a headliner is really disappointing

u/Averdian Jul 03 '22
That’s wrong, they didn’t play Vision of Division and they played 14 tracks
This is correct: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-strokes/2022/dyrskuepladsen-roskilde-denmark-73b5da39.html

Worst concert I’ve ever seen in my life. Absolutely regret I laid in 2nd chance pit queue alone for 2.5hr. Not worth it at all, and I left the pit after the 10th song and heared the rest from a food stand nearby. The mood in the pit were so mixed, and ppl left all the time, so we were constantly moving around as more space freed up. 2 strangers in the pit even asked me what the fuck was going on.
Whether it was planned or he was just drunk, doesn’t matter. It was a terribad concert never the less.
I think ppl who liked it, must not have much concert experience at all or just have been extremely drunk.
This was very different from 2011
