Interpol confirm new music is on the way, share tour updates
Longtime drummer Sam Foragino will not be joining them on tour; Rough Francis' Urian Hackney will temporarily be playing for Interpol.
theneedledrop.comHere’s a quick update on the latest Interpol news.
Key takeaway
- Interpol has been actively teasing new music and live activity in 2026, with reports of a forthcoming album written and recorded, plus ongoing touring plans across the US, Latin America, Europe, and Australia.[1]
Recent developments
- A March 2026 report confirms Interpol stated their next album is written and recorded, though no title or tracklist has been revealed yet. They were also preparing a US tour around that time, with additional festival appearances and a collaboration-forward live run planned for 2026. Notably, drummer Sam Foragini (Foragino) was not touring due to personal reasons; Urian Hackney filled in temporarily for live dates. This aligns with the band continuing to stay active in the live circuit while finalizing album details.[1]
- There have been separate industry mentions around 2025–2026 about Interpol engaging in archival/live projects and promotional campaigns tied to anniversaries and tours, including remixed or live releases tied to their catalog. These pieces point to the band keeping a busy schedule even as new material develops.[2][3]
What to watch next
- Official announcements from Interpol via their social channels and website for a confirmed album title, tracklist, and release date.
- Tour updates and festival appearances in major markets (North America, Latin America, Europe, UK) and any special collaborations or co-headlining events.
- Any new singles, music videos, or live-recorded releases (e.g., a potential live album or "Interpolations"-style remixes) as a precursor to a full album.
If you’d like, I can monitor for the next official statements and summarize them with dates, track titles, and tour specifics as soon as they’re published. I can also pull together a quick timeline or a visual tracker (e.g., a simple chart of tour dates vs. release milestones) if you’d find that helpful. Would you like me to proceed with that?
