Interpol
Obstacle 1 by Interpol Live Performance at Hovefestivalen, Arendal, Norway
On June 28, 2007, Interpol played at Hovefestivalen in Tromøya, Norway, during a pivotal phase in their career. This live performance followed their critically acclaimed album 'Our Love to Admire,' released just a year earlier in 2007. 'Our Love to Admire' marked their first release after a break, showcasing a more polished sound while still retaining the moody essence fans loved. Interestingly, this album includes hits like 'PDA' and 'Slow Hands,' which became staples in their live sets. The Hovefestivalen gig perfectly captured the band’s dynamic energy, establishing them as a formidable live act. This period was crucial as they endeavored to solidify their place in the post-punk revival scene, connecting deeply with both longtime fans and newer listeners alike.
