The Strokes return to Saturday Night Live on 7 November
Saturday Night Live has confirmed Druski as host and The Strokes as musical guest for the 7 November 2026 episode. The November line-up names the same pairing, while NME’s booking confirmation also gives the date and musical role.
The programme is a US sketch show, making the event a television performance rather than a venue booking. Druski’s hosting debut supplies the episode’s presenter detail, while the band’s role is musical.
Reality Awaits remains behind The Strokes’ current tour
The Strokes are currently touring behind their seventh studio album, Reality Awaits. The album is the named work linking the November television appearance with the band’s present touring activity.
The band are a New York rock group, and the SNL booking keeps that identity attached to the ensemble rather than a solo project. The group’s fifth musical-guest slot follows earlier appearances on the programme, extending a relationship that runs through its history.
