LateRooms.com - The Strokes Prepare to Rock in Milan

    MILAN, ITALY, June 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Milan's Fieramilano is preparing to welcome The Strokes for what will be the group's only Italian date on their current tour.

Performing on July 12th in the Fiera Rho-Pero area of the venue, the band's gig is part of Flippaut Alternative Reload 2011.

The Strokes burst on to the alternative music scene with debut album Is This It in 2001, leaving critics and fans alike spellbound with their infectious and raw, guitar-led sound.

Fronted by Julian Casablancas on vocals, the group went on to release another three LPs, including Angles, which was unveiled earlier this year along with the first single from the record Under Cover of Darkness.

Fans in Milan will no doubt be keen to hear the new material, together with some of the band's best-loved hits, such as New York City Cops, Someday and Last Nite.

Supporting the New York rockers will be Chrome, Verdena and Elisabeth.

The action kicks off at 16:00 local time and tickets cost EUR55 (GBP48.90). The day's music is scheduled to finish at 23:30.

LateRooms.com offers music enthusiasts a wide range of accommodation including luxury hotels in Milan such as the Hotel Berna Milan.
