6 Music stalwarts who first came to attention with 2002's Turn on the Bright Lights, and a spot on the 成人快手's Sound of 2013 list. They returned from a hiatus in 2014 to deliver fifth album El Pintor.
Originating from New York City, the band's dark post-punk sound is often compared to British bands like Joy Divison and The Chameleons.
Their last three albums have all reached the UK Top Ten, with 2007's Our Love to Admire hitting no.2, only being kept off the top spot by The Enemy's debut release.
Paul Banks, Sam Fogarino and Daniel Kessler, who make up Interpol, will be on stage at the 6 Music Festival on Friday.
