Interpol

In August 2017, when Interpol performed at La Route du Rock, they were actively promoting their fifth studio album, "El Pintor," which was released in 2014. This album marked the band's return after a four-year hiatus and was notable for being the first released since the departure of bassist Carlos Dengler. The live recording captures the band's rich, atmospheric sound, showcasing a blend of tracks from "El Pintor" alongside classic songs from their earlier albums, reflecting their evolution as artists while still paying homage to their post-punk roots. The performance at this renowned French festival demonstrates Interpol's enduring appeal and their ability to engage with a live audience, illustrating the band's significant place in the indie rock scene. Notably, the setlist includes fan favorites like "PDA," which has become a staple in their live performances.
