United Center Pre-Show Party: The Strokes 5:30-7:30pm

Before the main act of The Strokes ignites the stage at the United Center, there's an exclusive pre-show party worth skipping your favorite dive bar for. No, this isn't a typical, humdrum warm-up event. It's a golden ticket into a private club tucked away in the East Atrium.

Picture this: your favorite Strokes' track is playing on a loop in your head as you sip on two complimentary drinks - the kind that make your insides glow and loosen your limbs. You're nibbling on light appetizers that surprise you with their taste—no cardboard pizza slices here. You're surrounded by fellow indie heads, swapping theories about the band's setlist.

The best part? You get an early bird pass to the merch. Get your hands on the limited edition tees before they sell out and become another myth in the indie universe.

This isn't a gig, it's an experience. And remember, The Strokes themselves won't be there, but with that electric energy in the air, you'll swear you can feel their presence.
