The Strokes‘ Fab Moretti and Nikolai Fraiture are set to reunite on stage on Thursday [May 21] for a tribute concert to Bob Dylan at New York’s Mercury Lounge — which means you’re probably not getting in unless you act fast.

Rolling Stone’s The Smoking Section along with the Mercury Lounge just announced The Dylan Fest 2009. Tickets are currently on sale for $10, and considering the scope of the show vs. the size of the venue, we’re guessing they won’t last long.

The show will be the first time the pair of Strokes have shared a stage since 2006 and are part of a host of musicians set to play. The full line-up [below] along with the message that “rehearsals have been amazing,” was announced on Rolling Stone’s website.
