Core Event
Interpol announced a 23-city North American tour from July 31 to Oct 17 2026, opening at The Mission Ballroom in Denver and closing at The Pinnacle in Nashville, with a CBGB Festival slot in Brooklyn (Sept 26) and a Vancouver stop (Sept 29). Country stars Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan added four stadium dates to their “Double Down Tour,” spanning Aug 1 in Missoula, MT (Washington-Grizzly Stadium) to Dec 11 in Las Vegas, NV (Allegiant Stadium).
Background & Context
Live-music demand has surged post-pandemic, prompting artists to schedule large-venue runs. Interpol’s fall leg follows a 2026 Coachella return, while Aldean and Bryan’s co-headlining format builds on a sold-out Sanford Stadium show (Apr 25) that attracted 63,000 fans.
Key Artists & Support
Interpol’s support rotates among Youth Lagoon, Loathe, Julie, DIIV and French Police; Sombr opens the Vancouver show. Aldean and Bryan’s stadium dates feature Gavin Adcock, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Lauren Watkins, plus Dee Jay Silver and DJ Rock on all shows.
Data & Statistics
Interpol lists 23 North American stops; tickets pre-sale May 6 2026 (10 a.m. PT) and general sale May 8 2026 (10 a.m. PT). The Double Down Tour includes four stadium concerts; fan-club pre-sale May 6-7 2026 and public sale May 8 2026 (10 a.m.). Together the tours cover 27 venues and roughly 200,000 seats.
Official Statements & Responses
Interpol’s release called the run “some of the band’s biggest headline shows to date” and noted the rotating support lineup. Aldean said the partnership reflects “over twenty years” of friendship and shared milestones; Bryan called the added dates “one of the best touring years of my life.”

Impact & Why It Matters
The simultaneous rollout of two high-profile tours highlights 2026’s robust live-music market, delivering sizable revenue for promoters, venues and opening acts. Mixed-genre lineups also signal a shift toward diversified billings that broaden audience reach.
