Interpol Are Hitting the Road Across North America This Summer and Fall
Interpol just dropped a full North American tour for 2026, and it's a proper one. Twenty-two dates running from late July through mid-October, hitting rooms and outdoor stages across the U.S. and Canada. If you've been waiting for a reason to see this band again, or for the first time, here it is.
The run kicks off July 31 at The Mission Ballroom in Denver and rolls through the Pacific Northwest and West Coast before the band heads back overseas for a stretch. They pick it back up stateside on September 26 at the CBGB Festival in Brooklyn, then head through Canada, the East Coast, Midwest, and the South. The final stop is October 17 at The Pinnacle in Nashville.
The Support Lineup
The supporting acts on this tour are stacked. Youth Lagoon opens in Denver and Boise. Loathe takes the Portland and Tacoma dates. julie handles the California and Las Vegas run. Then DIIV joins for the bulk of the fall leg, from Toronto all the way through Atlanta. French Police rounds it out on the Nashville closer alongside DIIV.
One date to flag. On September 29 in Vancouver at Rogers Arena, Interpol will actually be opening for Sombr, not headlining. Still worth showing up early for.
New Music Is Coming
This tour comes at an interesting time for the band. Interpol haven't released a full album since The Other Side of Make-Believe dropped in July 2022 on Matador Records, but they've clearly been working. The band debuted a new song called "See Out Loud" back in March during a show in São Paulo, then played it again at Lollapalooza Brasil the following night. A second new track, "Wings of Fire", surfaced during their Coachella set in April.
I'll be real, hearing that guitarist Daniel Kessler apparently takes a lead vocal on "See Out Loud" is wild. Paul Banks has owned that mic for over two decades, so any shift there is worth paying attention to. Banks has said the next record is sounding "quite high energy" and that the band has been getting back to writing together in a room. No album title or release date yet, but the pieces are clearly in motion.
The Drummer Situation
If you've been following Interpol closely, you know founding drummer Sam Fogarino has been away from the road since undergoing spinal surgery in 2023. Recovery has taken longer than expected, and the band announced in March 2026 that Urian Hackney would be filling in on drums for the foreseeable future. The band made a point of noting that Fogarino "played and co-wrote the new record," so his fingerprints are still all over whatever's coming next. He's just not able to tour right now.

Why This Tour Matters
Honestly, Interpol live is one of those experiences that just hits differently. The atmosphere, the low end, Paul Banks' voice in a room. It all translates. And with new material being road-tested and a new album clearly on the horizon, these shows are going to feel like a preview of what's next for this band. That DIIV pairing on the fall leg is especially strong. If you're anywhere near those October dates, that's a double bill worth building your night around.
Before this North American run, the band has been all over the world in 2026. They supported Deftones across Australia and New Zealand in May, hit European festivals including Mad Cool and Dour Festival in July, and even opened for My Chemical Romance in Florence. After the Nashville closer, they'll head back to Europe in November for arena shows with Bloc Party through December. So yeah, this band is working.
Don't sleep on the presale. If you haven't seen them live yet, this is the year. And if you have, you already know. Get your dates locked in through Interpol's tour page before they start selling out.
