The American indie rock band Interpol will perform for the first time in Romania on August 14 this year, according to an announcement on the official site of the band. The band will play in an event called Stirbey Festival, held in Buftea. Ticket prices for this event or other information are yet to be announced.

Interpol is an American indie rock band formed in New York City in 1997. The band's sound is generally a mix of staccato bass and rhythmic, harmonized guitar, with a snare heavy mix, drawing comparisons to post-punk bands such as Joy Division and The Chameleons.

Interpol's debut album “Turn on the Bright Lights” from 2002 was critically acclaimed, making it to tenth position on the NME's list of top albums in 2002, as well as number 1 on Pitchfork Media's Top 50 Albums of 2002. The band released its fourth, self-titled album on September 7, 2010.
