We can’t wait to see you with @interpol,” wrote QOTSA on social media.

In 2024, Interpol headed to Mexico City to play the biggest show of their career before a crowd of over 150,000 people at the Zócalo square. Queens appeared at Mexico City’s Corona Capital festival the following year.
Interpol released their eighth and latest studio album, ‘This Mirror Weighs A Ton’, last month. NME gave the project a glowing, four-and-a-half-star review, calling it the NYC band’s “most human and personal record to date, one that accepts constant change”.
Queens Of The Stone Age, meanwhile, are gearing up to drop new LP ‘Perfecth’ on October 30. They’ve already previewed the forthcoming collection with the singles ‘Insignificant Other’ and ‘Easy Street’.
In November, Interpol will kick off their co-headline tour with Bloc Party, playing across the UK and Europe. The trek features two nights at the new British Airways ARC venue in London. Find any remaining tickets here.
The band are touring across the US and Canada this autumn, too, and are opening for Sombr in Vancouver later this month. Find tickets here.
Speaking to NME this summer, Interpol frontman Paul Banks explained why he “felt like it was really important for [‘This Mirror Weighs A Ton’] to be a great record” after having two children since the last album, ‘The Other Side of Make-Believe’.
“I was in a headspace either about how we felt about the rest of the record or post-parenthood, but I took it really seriously and wanted to make sure I came away really proud of the work,” Banks told NME. “Every song is different, but I guess there’s a spirit of striving for elation and a striving for enlightenment and clarity. There’s a lot of taking stock and honest assessments, hence the title. It’s about striving and reflection.”
