Interpol

At the time of the Reading Festival performance on August 28, 2011, Interpol was promoting their fourth studio album, 'Interpol,' released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, as it was their first release after the departure of bassist Carlos Dengler, leading to a shift in their sound and dynamic. Live renditions of tracks like 'Obstacle 1' during the festival showcased the band's signature post-punk revival sound. The energy of this performance captured the essence of their journey, blending nostalgia with their present evolution. It’s interesting to note that despite their lineup changes, the band's ability to connect with audiences remained strong, proving their resilience in the ever-evolving music scene.
