Interpol, who had planned to tour the USA this summer in preparation for their imminent-but-yet-to-be-announced fourth album, have been forced to postpone the majority of their dates. This is due to them being planned around the dates they had been booked to open for U2, which have been delayed after Bono injured his back.
A note on their official website reads:
Good day to you all.
Unfortunately, due to the postponement of the upcoming U2 US dates, Interpol has had to rework its summer tour schedule.
With the exception of four shows, we have had to cancel our announced dates. Shows in Rochester, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Allentown will be happening. The rest of the shows will be rescheduled. If you have purchased tickets for a cancelled date, please contact the “point of purchase” and get a full refund.
We lament the change in plans, apologize for the inconvenience, and assure you that we’ll do you right – when the time is right and the light is nice.
The tourdates still going ahead are
06.21.2010 – Water Street Music Hall, Rochester, NY
06.22.2010 – Town Ballroom, Buffalo, NY
06.23.2010 – Mr. Small’s Theater, Pittsburgh, PA
06.25.2010 – Crocodile Rock Cafe, Allentown, PA
All other shows are postponed indefinitely.
