Sorry if this has been answered by people in the know elsewhere, but I wonder if they'll still have the exclusivity for R+L 2021? Felt weird they signed up for that this summer and then were only sub-headlining the NME tent.

This time round they can surely bargain up. And if they're contractually free to fill Glasto slots...I'd love to see them unleashed on the Other, subbing ideally. A teardown at sundown.

That “exclusivity” for R/L was strange considering they had such an awful slot - subbing the second stage just as people would be getting ready for Rage...

Probably the worst possible slot of the whole weekend.

Might try for Manchester but I begrudge the venue. They would be amazing in the Apollo.

I figure that they would have been able to play main if they wanted but perhaps preferred the opportunity to play the tent. You'd think Reading would have probably preferred them on the main with the flavour of acts on main that day.

They played every other festival in the country the year before. I'm not sure the exclusivity would have been hard to bargain.

Trying for the pre-sale (obviously). Feels weird not knowing if it will go ahead....but if it goes ahead then presumably Glasto will too 🙂

EDIT: Aaaaand purchased. Hooray! How many times can I see IDLES before it starts getting weird?

Hopefully I'll still be living in Glasgow by then and won't require your services to help me get tickets somewhere a bit more convenient last minute!

[Padjeq]

Bought my first intentional 2021 tickets.

When you know the answer let me know...

Straight forward pre sale that one - Manchester secured, debating Brixton.

[sisco]

Yep got my Brixton one too.  Will be my first ever gig alone!! (Obviously watching acts at Glastonbury doesn’t count)

[zahidf]

ticket sorted!

Think this is the list of all the presale links: https://shops.ticketmasterpartners.com/idles-2021?mc_cid=66107c7031&mc_eid=7ed2916e42

Extra dates being added purely from pre-sale tickets is a bit mad isn't it? Kick in the teeth adding a Friday Manchester date when a midweek Viccywarehouse gig is a ball-ache for some. Very odd.

Yeah, I'm gutted I would much rather have had the Friday date. 

[HeyPorter]

Just got tickets for the Manchester Friday gig, glad now I was hesitant this morning.

No worries, I bought 4 x Glasgow cos it looked like Brum had sold out, then tried to get a single Brum ticket and it went through. So looks like I'm going on a bit of an IDLES tour...

[FloorFiller]

Welp I had absolutely no intention of buying tickets for this as I was hoping to just see them at Primavera but got caught up in the Friday date hype and bought myself some tickets. Sure hope the new album doesn’t suck! 

[dotdash79]

Got tickets for Manchester Thursday I have a wedding on the Saturday so it works for me.

To be fair it works better for my mates too, just not me... 😂

For R&L they definitely were.

Bought for Thursday in Manchester and the then saw the extra date email..

Kkhhaaaannnn !!!!

Calmed down and ended up buying 2 for Friday as well. Agree with all comments about Viccy Warehouse. It's not great.

Anyway. Will go with the wife Thurs and mate on Friday and sofa surf for the night as getting back to the Wirral on public transport is a complete ball ache.

That was my issue - it's a difficult venue too. I'm getting a taxi home on the Thursday as the trains there are a nightmare, if it helps you out there is three of us going as far as Wavertree. 

Friday I really want in, but haven't convinced anyone else yet. 😂
