It was already announced that The Strokes would play their first hometown show since MSG in 2011 at this year’s Governors Ball (the NYC festival that Julian Casablancas also plays with his band The Voidz), but if you don’t want to brave a huge three-day festival to see them (or even one day of a three-day fest), you’re in luck. The NYC cool kids of the early aughts will now preface GovBall with a headlining festival pre-show in the area at Port Chester’s Capitol Theater on May 31, a far more intimate location than Madison Square Garden.

Tickets for the Cap show go on Strokes Fan Club presale Wednesday (5/14) at 10 AM, followed by Governors Ball/Citi bank presales on Thursday (5/15) at noon and the general on-sale Friday (5/16) at noon at this link.

Meanwhile, you can still get tickets to Governors Ball, which also includes Outkast, Jack White, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, TV on the Radio, Disclosure, Damon Albarn, and more. But if you’d like to go for free, we’ve teamed up with DoNYC to give away a pair of VIP tickets to Governors Ball 2014. Enter our contest via the form below…
