The band will play the albums “Turn on the Bright Lights” and “Antics” in full in three performances this week
The band Interpol, known for spearheading the post-punk revival in the 2000s, returns to Brazil this week for three performances, a year after playing at Primavera Sound São Paulo. The shows will take place in Rio de Janeiro, on the 5th, and in Sao Paulo, on the 7th and 8th, and the repertoire will be exclusive to the albums “Turn on the Bright Lights” (2002) and “Antics” (2004).
Tour strategy
It will be the first time the band will play both albums in full. Up until the Brazilian shows, Interpol was doing a commemorative tour for “Turn on the Bright Lights,” but “Antics” turns 20 in 2024 and was already on the radar to receive the same treatment. “We’ve never done anything like this before, anywhere,” said Daniel Kessler, guitarist and founder of Interpol. “We saw that the birthdays of the two albums are very close, so we looked at the calendar and thought it would be a great opportunity to return to Brazil and play these albums from start to finish,” he added to the Brazilian press.
Repertoire and expectations
The two albums contain some of Interpol’s most famous songs, such as “Obstacle 1”, “Say Hello to the Angels”, “PDA”, “Evil” and “Slow Hands”. But the repertoire includes other good songs that are usually left out of shows like “Narc”, “NYC”, “Untitled”, “Take You on a Cruise” and “Romantics”.
The commemorative performances mark two decades of New York’s musical explosion of the 2000s, when, in addition to Interpol, the bands Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and LCD Sound System also emerged. The scene at the time featured a recent documentary, “Meet Me in the Bathroom,” available on VOD in Brazil.
The Rio show will take place at Vivo Rio this Wednesday (5/6) with tickets between R$140 (half, underline) and R$530 (full song, premium), while the performances in Sao Paulo will be on Friday (7/6 ) and Saturday (8/6) at Audio, priced from R$215 (half, track) to R$530 (full, box). Tickets are on sale on the Livepass website.
Remember the successes of Interpol’s early successes.
