In September 2011, Interpol was at a vibrant phase of their career, having just released their self-titled album earlier that year. This album marked a significant point for the band as it was their first studio release after a four-year hiatus, following the critically acclaimed 'Our Love to Admire.' The live performance at Electric Picnic captured the essence of their evolving sound, blending their signature post-punk revival style with fresh elements that fans were eager to embrace. An interesting fact about this concert was the palpable energy and deep connection between the band and the audience, showcasing how Interpol maintained a strong presence despite the challenging landscape of the music industry at the time.
