Interpol tickets

When you are supposed to go on the biggest tour of your band's career, say opening for U2 you could pretty much count on a summer of a lifetime. However, when Bono and breaks his back and the tour is canceled you may find yourself with a lot of extra time on your hands. So what can you do? Plan an impromptu late minute summer headlining tour of course!

This is exactly the scenario that happened to poor Interpol. U2 was the hottest ticket of the summer playing in football stadiums to 50,000+ fans. For a band like Interpol, who was asked to open for U2, this is a huge opportunity. It's not every day you are asked to open for Farvin' Bono! But as you know, U2's summer tour was postponed until summer 2011, which left Interpol with a lot of time on their hands ... and an album to promote with no tour! Ahh!

So, in the past few weeks Interpol has announced a string of live shows that will take place late July - early August to promote their new album. This includes a stop in Minneapolis on August 14th at First Avenue. First Avenue tickets are on sale now and First Avenue tickets will sell out for this show! No opening act has been announced yet, but I am sure they will be awesome. I think First Avenue should book local act, The Red Pens, to open the show because they (pardon my french) kick ass.

See you at the show. Buy your First Avenue tickets early for this one !!!


Bono=lame


Interpol=awesome
