They're back, and they're ready to change our world. Madcap truth-seekers IDLES knocked us off our feet when they performed at the late Leopallooza Festival here at The Wyldes a few years ago, and since then they've hit the big time.
With four studio albums, awards and GRAMMY nominations under their belt, IDLES are loved fervently by music critics, they're internationally renowned, and they've become a firm festival favourite.
IDLES have kept the same rebellious spirit and cutting social commentary throughout their career in the rock hall of fame, whilst incorporating more dynamic arrangements, soul and electronic influences, and including collaborations with the likes of Jehnny Beth (of Savages), Warren Ellis (of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and Metallica in their recent releases.
IDLES’ upcoming album ‘TANGK’, due to be released in February 2024, promises more of their trademark attitude, with a new focus on love, joy and gratitude. In a vow to themselves and their listeners to keep fighting for truth and to continue uplifting the world in hard times, ‘TANGK’ is jam-packed with emotion in a way IDLES fans won’t have heard before. Their 2024 tour is expected to showcase the most heartfelt, earth-shifting live performances that IDLES have given to date, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us.
Their freshly announced tour includes venues all over the world, and for their Southwest UK stopover, they'll be taking centre stage at The Wyldes.
IDLES will be live in The Wyldes on Sunday 21 July 2024 (for the Leo heroes among you, this show will be on the weekend that used to be, in honour of the greatest house party in a field ♥)
Be there for new music and a live performance that could change your life.

SUPPORTING ARTIST LINE-UP
✰ GENESIS OWUSU ✰
Sweeping up awards including Album of the Year, Best Independent Release and Best Hip Hop / Rap Release for his albums, Genesis Owusu burst onto the scene to immediate acclaim for his genre-defying sound. With lyrics steeped in metaphor, Owusu is inspired by the stubborn human will to survive: “Through pandemics, bushfires and wars, we’re still going to find a way to make it to tomorrow, and I think that’s beautiful”.
✰ ANGÉLICA GARCIA ✰
Angélica Garcia blends styles seamlessly in a way that’s entirely her own, switching between the textured polyrhythms of Latin America, vocal production inspired by ambient electronica, and the edgier sparks of noise pop. Exploring difficult concepts in an original way, Angélica Garcia experiments with sound, pairing alt-rock attitude with artfully arranged vocals and layered equatorial instrumentals.
✰ JOHN ✰
In a return to The Wyldes, festival favourites JOHN join the line-up in July. Achieving mounting critical success with their independently released albums and singles including ‘Trauma Mosaic’ and ‘Theme New Bond Junior’, JOHN blend punk attitude with clashing drum rhythms and rock guitar melodies, culminating in a style that translates perfectly into their live performances, which The Guardian described as ‘ferocious’ in their review marking them as ones to watch.
✰ MORIATY ✰
Locally renowned blues-rock two-piece Moriaty will open the stage for us! Having worked with and performed alongside IDLES at Leopallooza Festival (RIP), Moriaty are old-hands at getting you lovely lot in the party mood. With heavy basslines and bluesy riffs, slick drum beats and drawling vocals, Moriaty claim the stage with a live performance that’s every bit as energizing as their records promise.
✰ THE EARLS OF SUAVE ✰
Frankie G will reunite with Liam Jolly to form a formidable DJ duo, together they are THE EARLS OF SUAVE. They'll be mixing records across genres, serving good times for all with a tailor-made mix of music that will have you moving, shaking and even head-banging your way to 1am.
The afterparty is included in the price of your ticket, and is made especially for those who want to keep the party going (and skip the going home traffic).
