INTERPOL ANNOUNCE HUGE SHOW IN MEXICO CITY
ZÓCALO – SAT, APRIL 20TH, 2024

280,000 CAP. CEREMONIAL SQUARE IN THE HEART OF MEXICO CITY

Following in the footsteps of Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney & Rosalía, Interpol will play the biggest show of their career at Mexico City’s 280,000 capacity main ceremonial square, the Plaza de la Constitución, better known as Zócalo, on Saturday April 20th. The show comes at the request of the Mexican Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curiel de Icaza.

Billed as a free show, the gig will be an opportunity for Interpol to give back to their longstanding most dedicated Mexican fanbase who have supported them impeccably over the years. Whether it be headlining both Corona Capital Mexico City in 2019 and Corona Capital Guadalajara in 2023 – the two biggest festivals in the country – or the band’s album launch show in Mexico City at Palacio de los Deportes in 2022, the country has a special place in Interpol’s hearts. The show will also serve as an opportunity to break down socio economic barriers within Mexico’s population, a show for everyone, whilst giving the country its biggest live music event of the year so far.

Formed in New York City, Interpol quickly rose to prominence with their unique blend of post-punk and dark wave. Their debut album, Turn on the Bright Lights, became a critical and commercial success, establishing the band as a major force in alternative music. Over the course of their career, Interpol has released seven critically acclaimed studio albums including The Other Side of Make-Believe in July 2022, selling close to two million records worldwide along the way.

Released in 2004, Antics cemented Interpol’s position as one of the most influential bands of their generation. The album’s dark, atmospheric soundscapes and frontman Paul Banks’ signature baritone vocal spawned iconic tracks such as ‘Slow Hands,’ ‘Evil,’ and ‘C’mere’ and Antics continues to resonate with fans worldwide today, solidifying its place as a modern classic—it reaches a twentieth anniversary in 2024, which the band will celebrate with a short run of dates in October and November of this year.
