IDLES have definitely been in the studio. They were playing some of their new songs at the UK gigs before Christmas. I think the album is out May/June going off what's been said - they're all currently on a break after pretty much solid touring.

Yup, they were in the studio the back end of last year and were filming something a few weeks ago. I'd wager considering they haven't popped up on any U.K festival lineups someone has got them exclusively and it's probably R+L

How many here have been lucky enough to see Rage live before? And how were they?

I’m not sure why they haven’t been mentioned but I really would love to see it, I love them

I've read on here somewhere (not sure which forum) that that's correct. I asked the IDLES manager if they were playing Glastonbury and didn't get a direct answer but the dates pretty much rule them out.

I saw them when they last played in 2008. They came on super late and only played for about an hour but it was well worth it. They were insane and I've not often experienced the sheer energy watching a band like I did that night. Everyone, both the band and the crowd, were incredibly up for it. They did have to stop the set a few songs in because of people getting crushed, and I was pretty far back from all the moshing but the atmosphere was still felt where I was stood.

I also liked how for a headliner their stage set up was simple. No big screens or fancy colourful light shows like most festival headliners these days. Just a red star backdrop and plain white lighting.

Fri - Tame Impala > Tyler, the Creator > the Streets

Saturday - the Strokes/Foals > IDLES > Mac Demarco

Sunday - Arctic Monkeys > Pulp > Jamie T

Edit : I know AM is a meme for R&L at this point but I cannot imagine how good the reaction would be

That is filthy

If you had your own festival what would be the best possible lineup for it ?

2 main stages with alternating times (Like Sonisphere) & the headline band not being the final band of the day (Like festivals overseas)

Closing Set	Chase & Status	Pendulum Live	Parkway Drive
Headliner	RATM	Green Day	Metallica
2nd Stage Headliner	Faith No More	Blink 182	Avenged Sevenfold

Seen them 3 times spread over the last 20 years and they were awesome every time.

There could not be a better announcement for me personally if this is true

Not 100% sure but I think that was the first time they had that barrier to separate the front area off.

Saw them at their free Finsbury Park show then 6 days later at Download. Both were the best live gigs I've ever been too, especially Finsbury. Now I've had to wait 10 years to see them again.

Seen RATM twice (both in the same week) and they were absolutely incredible. Be the first time I've been to Reading in 9 years if they get announced

[defender4]

realistically, if rage get announced is it gonna be a load of 20-30-something year olds mixed with some teenagers lmfao

My memory escapes me on this one but I think they first had it in 2006 or 2007.

It’s probably not related but noticed YNOT festival are still yet to announce one of their headliners! Although the difference in size of band/artist for headliners at both festivals are obviously different, can’t help but feel this is something to do with BMTH or Biffy and maybe they can’t announce it untill R&L 🤷🏼‍♂️ They are the right size of band to warrant headlining either festival
