Interpol has classed up since its gigs at dives like Brownies and Luna Lounge 15 years ago. Now the band has announced it will play the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur on Sept. 2 — a week before the release of its new album, “El Pintor.”

Hearing new single “Ancient Ways” in an ancient Egyptian temple should feel just right.

Though the event is sold out, you can join the waitlist at Eventbrite.
