The Strokes were supposed to play Brooklyn’s Barclays Center this past New Year’s Eve, just like they did as 2019 tipped over into 2020. Due to a COVID surge spurred on by the omicron variant, the show was postponed, but it finally took place Wednesday night. They even did a pretend countdown to the new year before their encore, as they should. No reason not to displace time when you’re out there having sloppy, nostalgic fun.
