Interpol and Bloc Party have announced a co-headline tour that will come to Dublin on November 30th, 2026.

The tour will see the acts performing songs from across their 20-year-spanning discographies, including Bloc Party’s debut Silent Alarm and Interpol’s sophomore album Antics.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am GMT on Friday November 7th, with pre-sale for those signed up to the bands' mailing lists from 9am GMT on Wednesday November 5th.

Formed in New York City, Interpol rose to prominence with their blend of post-punk and dark wave influences. Led by lead singer Paul Banks, the band’s dark, atmospheric soundscapes have influenced artists across the world.

Their debut album, Turn on the Bright Lights, was Pitchfork’s first album of the year. They have released seven albums and have headlined shows including LA’s Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Madison Square Garden and Mexico City’s Zócalo.

Led by Kele Okereke, Bloc Party has influenced British indie rock from their initial EPs. Their debut album Silent Alarmin in 2005 saw experimentation with electronic textures. They released subsequent albums A Weekend in the City (2007), Intimacy (2008), Four (2011), Hymns (2016), and Alpha Games (2022).

The band was awarded the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection in May this year, before becoming the first act to headline Reading and Leeds festivals’ ‘icons’ slot.
