In March 2022, American indie-rock band The Strokes—whose albums like Is This It (2001) defined the 2000s garage revival with over 2 million copies sold—performed at Lollapalooza Chile in Santiago, one of South America’s largest festivals, drawing tens of thousands to Parque O’Higgins. Their hour-long set, packed with minimalist riffs and Julian Casablancas’ laid-back charisma, blended vibrant rhythms with melancholic melodies, igniting festival euphoria. The performance stood out for its raw energy and nostalgic vibe, reinforcing their status as indie-rock icons capable of captivating crowds after a long hiatus.
