Interpol returns to Memphis on March 22 for the first time since 2011

Fifteen years after Minglewood Hall, Interpol brings its spring 2027 run to Satellite Music Hall, the new 1,300-capacity room at Crosstown.

The last time Interpol played Memphis was April 25, 2011, at Minglewood Hall. A lot of the people who were in that room have spent fifteen years waiting for a second chance. In March they get one, in a building that didn't exist until this fall.

Interpol plays Satellite Music Hall on Monday, March 22, 2027, with the show listed at 7 p.m. Tickets are through Ticketmaster. The date was announced Oct. 22 as part of a short spring run.

That run is tight. Interpol is bringing its This Mirror Weighs A Ton tour back to the U.S. for nine shows between March 16 and 27. Deafheaven opens eight of them, and Memphis is the one exception. After Memphis the band heads to Asheville, then The Anthem in Washington, D.C., on March 24 and The Met in Philadelphia on March 26. The run closes at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey, on March 27. The spring U.S. dates follow shows in Mexico earlier in March, and they come after a separate North American run in 2026 that went from summer into mid-October.

For Memphis, the room is half the story. Satellite Music Hall is a 1,300-capacity Live Nation venue at Crosstown Concourse in Midtown, at 1291 Autumn Ave. Its grand opening was set for Sept. 4 this year, with Memphis' own The Band CAMINO booked for the first two nights. The name is a nod to Satellite Records, the original name of Stax. The project broke ground in early 2025 in partnership with the Stax Music Academy. Inside, there's a main floor and a second-floor mezzanine.

A band of Interpol's size coming back after fifteen years is exactly the kind of booking a new mid-size room is built to land. It's also the kind of show Memphis has had to drive to Nashville or Atlanta to see. With 1,300 capacity, the room is big enough for a band with this much history and small enough that nobody is watching from a lawn.

What to know: the show is a Monday, listed at 7 p.m. Tickets are through Ticketmaster via the link above. Memphis is the only date on the U.S. run without Deafheaven, so check the JamBase listing as the date gets closer for news of an opener. If you haven't been to Satellite yet, give yourself time to find parking around Crosstown.

Fifteen years is long enough for a teenager at Minglewood to have a teenager of their own. On March 22 Interpol gets reacquainted with Memphis, and the city gets to show off its newest room to a band that hasn't been here since before it was built.
