The Strokes, Phoebe Bridgers, and Gracie Abrams Booked for SNL
Saturday Night Live has booked The Strokes for November 6 with host Druski and Phoebe Bridgers for November 13 with host John Mulaney. Bridgers will perform solo on the show for the first time since her 2021 appearance. Gracie Abrams is also scheduled to perform on the Halloween episode hosted by Inde Navarrette.
The Strokes are set for the Nov. 6 installment, sharing the bill with Druski, who will host for the first time. A week later, Phoebe Bridgers takes the musical slot on John Mulaney’s episode; it marks her first solo SNL turn since 2021, after Boygenius appeared in 2023. Gracie Abrams will perform on the Halloween show hosted by Inde Navarrette.
Season 52 has already welcomed Rosalía, Turnstile, and Katseye as musical acts. Taylor Swift turned up on Oct. 3 to give host Dakota Johnson a birthday cake. After a weekend off, the program resumes with the Halloween episode.
The bookings may give SNL’s music segments a cross-generational draw, pairing a legacy indie act with younger singer-songwriters. Fans of each artist could tune in for specific performances, while casual viewers may encounter new music through the broadcast and subsequent clips. For the show and streaming platforms, these episodes could extend social-media conversation and highlight how late-night TV still functions as a promotional stage, though the actual cultural reach may depend on viral moments and audience fragmentation.
