Two of the biggest indie-rock '00s heavyweights, Interpol and Bloc Party have joined together for a co-headline tour of Australia late 2023.
The ultimate bucket list item for any indie kid who grew up on a steady diet of angular rock in the 2000s, Bloc Party was last down under late 2018, while Interpol last graced our shores around the same period for Falls Festival 2018-2019.Since forming in 1997, Interpol have released seven studio albums, their most recent being 2022's 'The Other Side Of Make-Believe', their back catalogue featuring such hits as 'Evil', 'Obstacle 1', 'Rest My Chemistry', 'Slow Hands', 'All The Rage Back Home' and 'No I In Threesome'.
"We are so happy to be hitting the road with our friends Bloc Party in Australia. Come on down," shares Interpol.
English rockers Bloc Party first emerged in the early 2000s, quickly cementing themselves with such classics as 'Banquet', 'Helicopter' and 'This Modern Love' from debut LP 'Silent Alarm'.
They've released six albums in total including 'A Weekend In The City' (2007), 'Intimacy' (2008) and 2022 LP release 'Alpha Games'. If that's not enough, Bloc Party have released two more singles this year: 'Keep It Rolling' and 'High Life', and will release 'The High Life' EP next month.
"The histories of Bloc Party and Interpol are intertwined at various stages of our careers," Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke says.
"It made perfect sense to us to solidify that by playing some massive shows together in one of our favourite countries on earth. We can't wait to get back to Australia in November."
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 7 July.
