New York band The Strokes are the latest addition to the ever-expanding line-up for next month’s Virgin Festival in Toronto.

The scruffy rockers will play on September 10, the second day of the 2-day festival being held on the Toronto islands.

This year marks the first time that the popular British music fest has staged shows on this side of the Atlantic. Along with the Toronto dates, Virgin Festival will also make a stop in Baltimore on September 23. That show will feature two big names that aren’t (as of yet, anyway) playing the Toronto stops — Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Who.

This year’s British version of the show is being headlined by Radiohead and ex-Smiths front-man Morrissey.

As previously reported by andPOP, the first day of Toronto’s Virgin Festival will feature headlining performances by Gnarls Barkley and The Flaming Lips. In addition to The Strokes, day two will be headlined by Massive Attack and The Raconteurs.

Tickets for the festival are available through Future Shop and Ticketmaster. Single day passes cost $57.50, while two day passes are selling for $104.50. Tickets include round-trip ferry transportation.
