Interpol and Bloc Party, two of the biggest bands from the post-Y2K period, will co-headline an expansive tour with UK dates. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 9am on Friday 7 November. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of their UK and Ireland tour dates. 

Both acts came to prominence in the early 2000s, Bloc Party for their blistering debut Silent Alarm, Interpol for their blockbuster indie classic Antics. While distinct in their sounds and formed on different ends of the globe, both successfully moved the mantle of post-rock into the contemporary era, burnishing the sounds established by Joy Division and their ilk with athletic speed and lyrics which foregrounded a youthful disaffection. They last toured the UK together in 2004. 

Starting at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on Friday 20 November 2026, the bands will then visit Cardiff, Manchester, Brighton, Sheffield, Dublin, Glasgow and London throughout winter.
