Think they have been recording a new album so it might be out by June. They're in South America in March too.

That's good news.

Splendid stuff. Be interesting to see if they can maintain a) the quality and b) the popularity, especially as one doesn't necessarily guarantee the other!

I'd just like to say that @Quark is a legend

He’s VERY good at enabling top notch forummers to attend Idles gigs ?

Definitely gotta be at R&L next year, that fest loves an exclusive tag plus they haven’t played there post-Joy. Still bitter about missing them in the Festival Republic tent in 2017, was ever so slightly aware of them at the time too.

I concur, thanks Quark!!!! I think @Supernintendo Chalmers and I thought successful Twickets ticket buying was  a lost cause. You went well above and beyond your EFestivals duties there ?

Also thanks to @cammie81 for an additional spare so my mate could join!

Realised this morning that IDLES are becoming quite intertwined with my EFestivals life...having been introduced to them at Boomtown by @Tommy101and watching most of their set at Glasto next to @bennyhana22

Absolutely cannot wait to watch them smash up Barrowlands next week!!!!

As soon as I know I have it, I will send you a message. I have had that in mind but I am still waiting for my ex to send them. I don't have mine yet either. I will definitely have them, just a matter of when.

Looks like I might have 1 spare for Alley Palley due to a drop out. Anyone looking?

Face value obviously

And the u.s in april

If they’re exclusives at R&L I think they’re still quite likely for a secret set.

It doesn't make sense to me that they'd be an exclusive at R&L if they have a new album. Is that normal? I'm hoping the info is wrong!

Depends when Album is out I guess. They could be doing a festival exclusive in summer then dropping the album and going back on the road in the autumn. 

Would sort of be surprised if that exclusive info is right though. Are they really a band who it’s worth nailing down to an exclusive? I mean I love them but there’s been so many chances to catch them in the last couple of years - and will be post album - it’s not like I can imagine it being worth the money.

Does anyone have a rough idea of what the set time might be for the Idles at Alexandra Palace on 7th, and whether there will be anyone supporting them please?  

[Peter North]

METZ are one of the supports. One of the loudest live bands I have seen - worth a look if you like noise.

[med]

Not heard of them, will have to check them out, thanks.

[AlexOvd]

Idles headlining some stage while Taylor it's on the pyramid would be lit.

[priest17]

METZ at some point decided they don't want me to see them, they've managed to clash with stuff I can't miss the last 3 times they've been to Manchester. Like each time they've been back it's been something more important than the last, last time it was Glastonbury. I'm scared to get married in case METZ decide to play the white hotel that night or something.

[Peter North]

If you like the noisier side of Nirvana (ie. In Utero), I think you'll like METZ.

[Brave Sir Robin]

METZ are great. Ace live.

Decent shout for a night on the JP I'd wager.

I’d go Bleach over In Utero. 
 

Metz are playing in Liverpool on Saturday, would like to go but spent my gig allocation cash last week.
