The Strokes performed 'Tyrants Of The Yellow Moon' live for the first time during their concert at the Hard Rock Live venue in Hollywood on Sunday, 13 September. This debut was part of their ongoing 2026 tour, which celebrates the release of their seventh album, 'Reality Awaits', launched in June.
Julian Casablancas introduced the song, stating, “We’re going to be trying to play a song we’ve never played before. Let’s do it.” The track was the sixth song in their 22-song setlist, following 'Lonely In The Future', 'Hard to Explain', 'Going Shopping', 'Juicebox', and 'Someday'.
The 'Reality Awaits' world tour is continuing across North America this month before moving to the UK and Ireland in October. The UK and Ireland dates include two nights at London’s O2, along with performances in Newcastle, Manchester, and Dublin.
