The Strokes playing Maya Wiley fundraiser at Irving Plaza this weekend
Last month, The Strokes played an acoustic virtual fundraiser for Democratic candidate Maya Wiley‘s NYC mayoral campaign. Now that venues are allowed to open at full capacity in NY to vaccinated people, they’ve announced an in-person fundraiser for Maya, on Saturday, June 12 at Irving Plaza. It’ll be the first show the newly rennovated venue hosts, and you’ll need to prove your vaccination status to attend. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, June 9 at 12 PM.
The event page reads:
Join The Strokes & Friends for the first fully vaxxed, full capacity indoor concert in NYC benefitting the Maya Wiley for Mayor campaign! All proceeds go to the fight to elect the first woman mayor of NYC on June 22nd.
All ticket purchasers must be over 18 years of age and a citizen of the United States (or a lawfully admitted permanent resident). All attendees are required to verify their vaccination status at the door or be denied entry. Purchase limit is 2 tickets.
The Strokes’ last NYC show was at Barclays Center on December 31, 2019, so this is also a chance to see them in a much smaller venue than usual.
