The Strokes played their first ever live set of 2017, during their headline slot at Colombia’s Estéreo Picnic Festival on March 24, NME reports.
The band last released their ‘Future Past Present’ EP last year but predominantly focused on past discography during their 17 song set.
Opening with ‘The Modern Age’, the band also played fan favorites such as ‘Soma’, ‘Someday’, ‘Reptilia’, ‘Is This It’, and ‘New York City Cops’. The encore included ’80s Comedown Machine’, ‘Heart in a Cage’, and ‘Hard to Explain’. You can watch a compilation of fan footage from the performance below.

The Strokes are currently working on a new album. They have not released a full-length since 2013’s ‘Comedown Machine’.
“We’re definitely working,” bassist Nikolai Fraiture told NME. “As people know by now, deadlines are not our forte. Anticipation and surprises are still part of the excitement of releasing new music.”
Discussing balancing The Strokes with his new band Summer Moon, Fraiture added: “With the pace of The Strokes as it is, I see plenty of time and room to do both. We play the song ‘Chemical Solution’ differently live than on the record. There’s an extended solo section at the end where everyone gets lost in the music. It’s a beautiful moment and I’m hoping to capture those new feelings on tape (and hard drive).”
