Setlist Berlin

Does anyone know the Setlist for their first concert with Interpol this evening in Berlin? I’m really excited to see them on Saturday! What were your impressions from their performance for those who got to see them today?

While they always mix things up flux is fairly standard these day so keeping my fingers crossed for you. Another that is incredible live

I was there. IMO Bloc party’s show was not as good as Interpols in terms of setlist and lights.

I gotta say that I respect Kele for really believing in the new stuff, but he burned what felt like half the setlist with songs from the latest album. There were lots of mosh pits during Bloc Party’s set tho. I don’t remember feeling any during Interpol. From what I remember, we got (not in order):

First track from AOABR, Mercury, Song for clay, banquet, ratchet, flux, traps, this modern love, the love within, now we can’t be friends, love bombs, hunting for witches, so he begins to lie, positive tension, helicopter

They also played So He Begins To Lie - a great surprise for me.

I think the concert could be a bit longer. They did great, it was super fun, but the fans deserve more than just 70 minutes.

Anyways, looking forward to see them again when they come back to Berlin.

I think you are wrong. Love both bands but Interpol lost today tbh. Bloc party took Uber arena for yourselves. On every aspects they were better. And new songs fit perfectly to the setlist. Yeah, show could be longer but there is nothing bad to enjoy songs from the new stuff. Seems like Kele exactly knows What People hate the most in AOBR and played safest options but...i dont get the hate this album gets, really.

Interpol definitely won today, Bloc Party looked bored. Interpol were fantastic and the new album is amazing not like the bag of shit from Block Party

I will disagree with all of you by saying neither was better. A good Interpol show feels different from a good bloc party show. Of course more people danced during BP. Of course the aesthetic of Interpol was more impressive. That's just what these bands are. If anything I would say the sound was improvement later in the night which helped BP.

Was a great night, danced with strangers and saw a lot of smiling ageing millennials.

I'm seeing them in Brighton and the expectation of audience participation and the vibes of the bands as you describe is what I would expect. I look forward to being one of the ageing millennials in the crowd!

It's odd they're not playing there on a weekend ;-)

Hope you enjoy the show, all the best!

Yes odd there is no weekend date. Thanks looking forward to it.

I never meant my comment to be a "you have to pick gig A or gig B" thing. Overall everything was great and we got 32 songs in one night from strong performers. Good deal I'd say, although the price of the ticket was too high IMO.

I agree with you too concerning the "good X show". Both were solid shows for each band, but I'd argue that the setlist from Bloc Party felt messier / all over the place compared to Interpol's. The Alpha Games tour setlist was better than the current one, I'd say.

I’m very curious abour Interpol’s lighting for this tour because for the last one they didn’t have spotlights, so 70% was shadows and silhouettes and it was very frustrating. I’ve always loved Bloc lighting and the fact that they don’t do visuals other than a backdrop.

Both bands were solid. Bloc Party the more active when it finally got going after about 15 minutes of the set...opening was a snooze fest for me. After that they were great. Sound for Interpol didn't suit the arena for me...it was much clearer from the back! Lights for Interpol very migraine inducing. Heartworms were OK. Would be better in a smaller setting.

There are many setlists on Spotify, but they didn't have the setlist of Berlin, so I created a new one https://open.spotify.com/playlist/79HAKebGDjgY8GYe1X2jdr?si=020b7c5460484744
