Idles

[TheBurns]

Just back from them tonight in Dublin and they were fantastic. Great band, and they come across as lovely blokes too. Have tickets to see them again here in July and will likely be seeing them on the farm, not many who will draw me away.

Friday sunset on the Other or Peel headliners please Emily.

Oh yeah forgot about that. Perfect for them but it'll be absolutely rammed.

That’s been mentioned. But there was guy posted in here a while back that they were playing the JPT,  among other places over the piece. Park would be amazing, but it’ll be chaos up there with the crowd they’ll pull.

Ah fair enough. I'd prefer the tent so I'm willing to grasp onto that rumour.

I’m not missing that on the farm, fuck me.

With you on that.

Bit busy tonight eh? G r e a t again tonight, hope they do the apollo next. I've got a deadline on so had to leg it from my desk at half 8 and didn't fully leave it behind so hopefully at the farm I can enjoy it as much as I have previous times.

[vintagelaureate]

Enjoyed tonight immensely, thought they were much better than at Boomtown (which they were awesome at!). I converted a friend, and can't wait to see them in the summer.

[RarerThanDandyB]

Absolutely fantastic. Many crowd surfs. Many pits, never have I seen a band perform at the Albert Hall and smash it. They did. Kiernan climbing the venue, Bowen playing the Where’s my Ice Cream jam and overall they smashed it. 

100% seeing them in a IDLES / Two Door Cinema Club / Tame Impala trio on the Friday. That’s going to be a highlight of the weekend. 

If anyone can go to any of the remaining shows, I urge you to do so. I may have spent £60 on £6 pints inside the venue but that made it worth it. 

Class.

Glad you guys all enjoyed it!  Looking like a efests gathering at the front for IDLES then

100%. That gig has added to the Glasto excitement.

[Wooderson]

Joe T cried with emotion at the reaction he received in Dublin on Tuesday.

Long time since ive seen that venue (maybe my fave in the world!) as packed/as nuts/as joyous.

We'd have to fight off the AF Gang for that.

I imagine there is a lot of crossover!

I've not been able to find a taker for my spare ticket for Saturday at Camden, so thought I'd offer it on here.

Any takers?

Well said chief

They were brilliant last night and easily translate to a bigger venue. Saw them at Leadmill last week and it was insane, but even bigger and bouncier last night with probably twice as many fans

Have stopped trying to convert people now.. you either get it or not and thats cool

Their gigs remind me of early 90s vibes but without the E which is a great thing

AiL sithi at the front x

Yeah, I think the ‘you either get it or you don’t’ is a major part of the Idles charm.

For some reason I loved the mixed responses on Twitter to their appearances on shows like Jules Holland and Soccer AM.

The fact that half the people loved them and the other half thought it was the worst thing they had ever heard is fantastic.

Rather them split the audience rather than be a bland band that no one cares either way about.

Definitely. 

My usual festival going partners don't get them - really disliked them at Boomtown.

My mate who went last night with me (who incidentally had never heard one of their songs beforehand) loved it - sadly he isn't Glastonbury bound! 

I'll be in with efests at the front!
