Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk introduces the band Interpol during their San Diego stop, telling the crowd that he will not stop skating until Interpol stops touring. In the moment, Hawk frames his remarks as a continuation of his long-standing support for the group.

Both outlets say Hawk shares memories connected to Interpol’s early-era music. He recalls being a day-one fan and references watching Interpol perform “Slow Hands” in 2004, along with the idea that the band has watched him skate while he does “slow hand plants.” The coverage centers on Hawk’s on-stage introduction rather than any new Interpol release or announcement.

While both reports focus on the same event and quote, they differ slightly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the stage exchange with a longer narrative style, while the other presents the remarks more directly as a declaration. Neither source provides additional details beyond the introduction and the retrospective fan comments.
