In July 2005, American indie-rock band Interpol—at the peak of their tour supporting Antics (2004), marking their mature post-punk with atmospheric textures and hits like "Slow Hands"—performed at Les Eurockéennes de Belfort, France's oldest rock festival launched in 1989 on the Malsaucy lake peninsula in Belfort as a platform for alternative music among 40,000 attendees. Their hour-long main stage set, captured in high quality, embodied their European tour climax, where Paul Banks and Daniel Kessler's guitar textures merged with Sam Fogarino's drum power and Carlos Dengler's bass lines to evoke emotional resonance under summer skies. Featuring tracks like "Evil", "Obstacle 1", "NYC", and "PDA", this show highlighted their role as New York post-punk leaders, turning the lakeside into a realm of collective trance.
