The night before the Kentish Town gig they're supporting Wolf Alice at the Roundhouse as part of the Q Awards. Not on the poster so might be worth checking if there are any tickets left.

Would they go down well/pull a big crowd? I've heard talk of The 1975 doing a surprise slot which would make far more sense but even when Interpol supported AM at TRNSMT, I heard mostly negative things from AM fans (not that they represent the Reading crowd entirely).

Love Interpol and am trying to get tickets today however as this would be amazing

Think they're still a pretty big deal, the TOTBL gigs sold extremely well, they have an album out the week of the festival and are in the area.

I'd be surprised if they didn't show up in some capacity.

They’re a big deal with a certain crowd. TOTBL is older than certain artists on the Reading bill.

Do they still feature at indie discos these days?

Yeah I couldn't even see an Interpol secret set at R&L made up of their biggest songs going down very well. A set that has a brand new album in mind would absolutely bomb.

Nah, not in Manchester anyway. Unless you go to a small, more niche night at Night & Day or something.

I have no idea, I'm now in my mid 30's and married with a child. I know not what the young people do these days.

The greatest indie night in history was Smile at the Star & Garter. Went there almost every Saturday between 2003 and 2010.

I bet Let’s Dance To Joy Division gets more of a reaction than Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Was in an indie/hipsterish bar in New York a couple of years ago, and witnessed the Strokes' Last Night coming on and clearing a packed dance floor. That was the moment I knew the indie disco (as I remember it) was truly dead.

[henry bear]

Not being one myself, I have no idea what hipsters listen to (I’m guessing artists with beards?), but an indie/hipster crossover night seems an odd combination to me. Not that there aren’t indie musicians with beards. 

From my experience indie music always had the ability to clear a dance floor (unless at a dedicated indie disco obvs), leaving those of us braving it at the mercy of the local ne’er-do-wells.

[Mouseboy11]

Disco seems to be the hipster's genre of choice with people around my age lately when I've been on nights out, as opposed to indie. Not that I'm complaining because disco is ace.

[the wonderwhy]

all we've learnt here is hipster means fuck all now 

[The Nal]

Disco sucks

[EamerRed]

I still do Propaganda, have done for the last 10 years, I don't feel like it's changed much but I suppose if you go regularly you wouldn't notice.

Of course you'd think that. It's fun.  You hate fun. Why do you hate fun so much Nal?

[Tommy101]

In my head hipsters still listen to jazz
