Interpol

[BlackHole2006]

New album out in 2010 and they are doing a tour too.

Surely they are going to play. Would love to see them on the other stage. Opinions?

[Zacko]

Would love a bit of Interpol, Pyramid or Other would be good. Possibly even John Peel headliners? I'm not sure how big they are in this country? Assuming the headliners on the other stages are big acts then I think they could do it.

[When Jokers Attack]

I'm all for it.

Turn on the bright lights owns!

[Kyelo]

Seen them twice and both times were so, so dull! Sure they'd make many happy though!

[ilovelanegan]

Yes please. Maybe not the most exhilarating live performers but the songs more than make up for it.

they were on before Libertines on a very hot late afternoon on the Saturday of '03 if I recall correctly. they weren't great, but solid. Michael Stipe was watching from the side of the stage. They've fallen back a bit in popularity, so can't see they garnering more than a late afternoon/early evening Other Stage slot, no later than 7 pmish, esp. on the 40th anniversary year with supposedly big acts playing

Yess please. They'd be great if they played on RH day. RH, Interpol, Editors, National....

i was sure i made an Interpol thread a month or so back when i learned of their new album and plans to tour this year.

i love Interpol but have never managed to see them live so would love for them to be there, as for their popularity waining i don't think that's the case they're still as popular as they ever where it's just they've gone off the radar a bit by taking a break.

as for people who claim they are dull live, their kind of music and style doesn't lead me to believe their performances will be some kind of energetic affair and a more laid back chilled out performance, why you would expect any different after listening to their music is beyond me.

They were far better than RATM at TITP08, glad I left the main stage to catch them in the Pet Sounds tent, amazing performance

Hopefully a slot just before Lady Gaga. That would be perfect!

Saw them play the OS in 2005 and couple times other than that - apart from "Evil" which is quality they are MEGA dull. One of the most overrated bands of the last ten years IMO. Total style over substance.

[Wooderson]

Nah mate your wrong, that award goes to The Strokes. They are about as boring as you can get. In my opinion of course

[BlackHole2006]

I like Interpol's look and sound (to a certain extent) on record. But live they just don't shake my tree. Last time (at Oxegen 2007 methinks) there was only bout 2000 watching them on the second stage there and I'd say 2/3 of them were just there to hear "Evil". Only my opinion but "Slow Hands", "PDA" etc etc just don't come over that great live.

The Strokes arent the best outfit either but you have to admit their first album is a serious piece of work.

[Joem]

Seriously, what am i reading? Interpol are possibly the most underrated band of the moment. The consistency of brilliance on all 3 albums means they should be held in much higher regard.

Seen them live a few times and they are spellbinding. Glasto would be very lucky to have them - just a shame they won't be in a headline slot that they so thoroughly deserve!!

If Bloc Party can headline the Other last year, then surely Interpol would more than carry it in 2010.

[Vieuphoria]

Interpol would be fantastic... very stong act and have never seen them live. Like to.

[ilovelanegan]

I'd love them to play and I thought they were great at Latitude, you don't have to jump about to be a powerful and memorable performer. Buuuuut I do reckon if you didn't know any of their songs you might not exactly get swept away with them based on a live show. I think they're a 'listen to albums first' band and then you can appreciate them live...

But don't get me wrong, I love 'em!

[Wab]

The real deal, yes please

I agree. I love them but live there is something missing with them.

Wrong wrong wrong! My love for Interpol is mostly to do with the perfection of their timing from soft stuff to hard fast stuff. They lack this ability live.
