The New Yorkers join R.E.M., Kings Of Leon, the Kaiser Chiefs, Ian Brown and the Raconteurs for the July 11-13 festival.

Interpol played the second stage at Oxegen last year and treated Irish fans to a sold-out virtuoso performance in the RDS in early December.

Fans registered on www.oxegen.ie will have access to pre-sale tickets from Monday March 3 at 8am, subject to availability and limited to four tickets per person. Tickets go on general sale on Friday March 7 at 8am.
