Interpol has announced a trio of special US shows to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their iconic album, “Antics.” The New York-based post-punk band will perform the entire album, offering fans a nostalgic trip back to 2004. These shows are a rare opportunity to experience the album that solidified Interpol’s place in the music world.
The band will kick off the US leg of their anniversary tour with a performance at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on October 5, 2024. Following that, they will head to the Fillmore in Denver on October 8, 2024, and wrap up at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on October 12, 2024. Tickets for these highly anticipated shows will go on sale at 9 AM on Friday, March 22, 2024.
Released in 2004, “Antics” was a defining moment for Interpol. The album’s dark, atmospheric sound, driven by Daniel Kessler’s guitar work and Sam Fogarino’s drumming, combined with Paul Banks’ distinctive vocals, produced unforgettable tracks like “Slow Hands,” “Evil,” and “C’mere.” These songs not only resonated with fans but also influenced a generation of musicians.
Formed in the late 90s, Interpol quickly made a name for themselves with their unique blend of post-punk, shoegaze, and dark-wave influences. Their debut album, “Turn on the Bright Lights,” was a critical and commercial success, establishing them as a major force in alternative music. Over the years, they have released seven studio albums, including their latest, “The Other Side of Make Believe,” in 2022.
Interpol’s live performances are legendary, and their 2024 tour promises to be no different. In addition to the US shows, the band will also tour South America, Europe, and the UK, celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Antics.” This extensive tour will give fans around the world a chance to relive the magic of one of the most influential albums of the 2000s.
The UK leg of the tour will include stops at Bristol Beacon’s Beacon Hall on November 7, 2024, Wolverhampton’s The Halls, Manchester O2 Apollo, Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, Newcastle O2 City Hall, and London’s Alexandra Palace. Fans in the UK can also look forward to hearing “Antics” performed in its entirety.
Interpol’s announcement has generated significant excitement among their dedicated fanbase. The band’s ability to captivate audiences with their powerful live shows has only grown over the years. This anniversary tour is a testament to the enduring appeal of “Antics” and the band’s lasting impact on the music scene.
In addition to their anniversary tour, Interpol has been busy with other projects. They recently invited several musicians to rework songs from their latest album, “The Other Side of Make Believe,” as part of their “Interpolations” project. Artists like Daniel Avery, Makaya McCraven, Jeff Parker, Jesu, and Water From Your Eyes have all contributed to this innovative project, reimagining various tracks from the album.
