Interpol announce a London replacement concert without Bloc Party

Interpol will play London’s British Airways ARC at Olympia on December 4, 2026. Announced on November 2, the standalone concert replaces plans for two co-headline shows with Bloc Party at the Grand Hall. Bloc Party will not appear at the new date. The replacement room holds around 3,800 people, compared with 7,000 for the original venue.

The cancelled Grand Hall dates were December 4 and 5. Unforeseen planning issues at the venue were given as the reason. Interpol are therefore keeping one London evening within the same period, rather than reinstating both original shows.

The new venue and AXS list doors at 6:30pm, with general sales beginning November 6 at 9am local time. The band links the concert to This Mirror Weighs a Ton; its own website supplies the official album player. This new sale should be distinguished from the arrangements for the cancelled joint concerts.
