Bloc Party and Interpol Glasgow Hydro Ticket Presales and Prices: How to see the indie legends' co-headlining tour
It’s a case of getting two huge acts for the price of one.
Two massively influential guitar bands from opposite sides of the Atlantic have announced that they will tour together next year.
English indie heroes Bloc Party and American alternative rock group Interpol will be playing a string of dates across Europe and the UK late next year.
Interpol formed in New York in 1997 in a burgeoning music scene that included the likes of The Strokes and The National.
They were critically acclaimed for debut album Turn On the Bright Lights in 2002, before increasing commercial success arrived with Antics in 2004, Our Love to Admire in 2007 and Interpol in 2010.
They went on hiatus on 2010 but returned in 2014, releasing two further albums and touring to mark the respective 20th anniversaries of their first two records.
Meanwhile, Bloc Party emerged from London in 1999 after forming at the Reading Festival and released their acclaimed debut album Silent Alarm 2005, winning the NME Album of the Year Award.
Two top 10 albums followed, with 2007’s A Weekend in the City and 2008’s Intimacy.
Like Interpol they went on a short hiatus before returning energised in 2011 and have released a further three albums, most recently 2022’s Alpha Games.
Now there will bethe chance to see both bands play on the same night for the first time and there’s good news for Scottish fans, with a date in Glasgow.
