Forest Hills Stadium already has some of the best acts coming to their storied venue this year, and today one more was announced: Interpol will be performing at the stadium on September 23rd. And not just Interpol: 2002 Interpol.
The band is celebrating the 15th Anniversary of their debut album Turn On The Bright Lights by playing the record in its entirety at the stadium. They will also do this in L.A. a week later, but the rest of their North American tour dates will be standard Interpol shows.
If you're in a certain age bracket and were living in NYC in the early aughts, and lived on the Lower East Side, or at least hung out there, or knew Sarah Lewitinn and Karen Ruttner, or ever went to the Dark Room, or dated Carlos D, then this album was most likely your soundtrack for that era. It was the one that came before your other soundtrack from that decade, Antics. Listening to both now will make you very nostalgic for watching The OC in your little LES apartment.
Fan club pre-sales start on May 2nd at 10 a.m. EST for the Forest Hills show, and 10 a.m. PST for the L.A. show. Public on-sale is May 5th, at 12 p.m. EST for NYC and 10 a.m. PST for L.A. The band now consists of Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler and Sam Fogarino, who are currently working on new material for their sixth album, due out in 2018.
