‘Heart In A Cage’
’12:51’
‘Alone Together’
‘Electricityscape’
‘Is This It’

‘Hawaii’
‘Last Nite’
‘Hard To Explain’
‘Ask Me Anything’
‘Vision Of Division’
‘Reptilia’

‘Take It Or Leave It’

The gig took place as part of the T Mobile Street Gigs series, and those in the audience included Dirty Pretty Things, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, Little Britain's David Walliams and actress Drew Barrymore.

The Strokes now head to Oxegen and T In The Park festivals, where they play this weekend (July 8-9). See NME.COM for full coverage from both festival sites.
