Formed in the late 90’s during the New York indie boom, Interpol swept up fans with their debut Turn On The Bright Lights. Fashioning an atmospheric sound that evokes dark emotions, Interpol’s sound is a balance of restraint and power. It is tight, well constructed, and presented in such a way that the songs stay with you. Antics and Our Love To Admire confirmed the band's initial success and gained them global recognition.

Their latest self-titled offering, released in late 2010, is a darker and jagged affair that pulses and pounds. Watching Interpol perform live you are unveiled to a new incarnation of the band, and with this their first Electric Picnic appearance, festival goers are in for a rare treat.
