Both bands have taken to Instragram to share a snippet of their music from the mid-noughties and a message that “something special is coming” this Friday (October 31) at 9am GMT.
They have also shared similar graphics on their pages too and the fact that GMT is mentioned suggests it could well be a tour.
Fans have expressed their excitement in the comments section with one writing: “BLOC PARTY COHEADLINE TOUR???!???,” while another added: “Bloc party posted the same thing??”
“INTERPOL COHEADLINE TOUR 
OH WE ARE SO BACK,” one user also added.

Interpol and Bloc Party previously toured the UK in 2004 and embarked on a tour of Australia.
Interestingly the snippets of music on their Instagram pages are also from records they released from the mid-noughties with Interpol sharing ‘Slow Hands’ from their 2004 album ‘Antics’ and Bloc Party sharing ‘Banquet’ from their 2005 debut LP ‘Silent Alarm’.
Interpol’s last album was 2022’s ‘The Other Side Of Make-Believe’ but they have been working on a new record, which is likely to drop in 2026.
Speaking to NME in July guitarist Daniel Kessler said: “We’ve still got a little bit of work to do, but it’s really getting there. We’re all really excited about the results and the feel of it. It will be coming out next year.”
He added: “It’s the first album we recorded in New York in 10 years, and it has a very winter-time New York feel to it. The studio had an open floor, we could see the skyline, and it had this Gotham kind of setting for us. It’s got a sense of that, for sure.”
Last year, they also toured ‘Antics’ for the album’s 20th anniversary. Reflecting on the record Kessler recalled how the band were “actually very mindful of not having any sort of pressure” while they were making the album.
He added: “Touring ‘Bright Lights’ was so full-on, but every time we had two weeks or a weekend at home we went right to our rehearsal space in Brooklyn and just started working on new songs. When we finally finished touring, we already had a good portion of the songs that ended up being on ‘Antics’.”
Bloc Party meanwhile also last released an album in 2022 – ‘Alpha Games’ and they are currently working on a new record, which they are also hoping to release in 2026.
Frontman Kele Okereke recently told NME: “We are working on the next Bloc Party record with a super-producer called Trevor Horn. He’s made some of my favourite records of all time, so it’s quite interesting to hear what he has to say. He’s been making records for most of his life, for over 50 years, so he seems to know all the tricks. He seems to know everyone as well and have a story about everyone.
“It’s a record about heartbreak, really – that’s the only thing I can say about it at this stage. Hopefully it will be out next year, but we’ll see.”
His band also toured ‘Silent Alarm’ as part of 20th anniversary celebration earlier this year.
He added: “I feel like whenever I listen to any of our records from the past, I would hear things I didn’t like about them and things I’d like to change. We did a big homecoming show in London last year to commemorate 25 years. Something kind of switched.
“Before, I was always seeing things in the records that I didn’t like, and now I’m slightly at peace with the whole thing. We’ve done something great and it’s been recognised throughout the world, and I’m at peace with that. We did something!”
