Joining the Red Hot Chili Peppers is indie rock band, The Strokes, whose hit singles include “Last Night” and “Someday.” An essential sound in the 00s alternative rock revival, The Strokes offer a unique blend of melodic tunes and catchy lyrics. Their music quickly became a hit on indie charts, earning them various awards, including their most recent Grammy win in 2021 for BestRock Album. The Strokes have sold over 5 million records and shared the stage with other legendary rock bands, including The Rolling Stones and The White Stripes.

Stephen Lee Bruner, better known as award-winning Thundercat, completes the lineup with his funky bass guitar sound.
