Idles last played in Birmingham when they headlined All Years Leaving 2017 at the Hare & Hounds, cementing their Brum fanbase. Their previous album, Brutalism, was released last year to critical acclaim.

Support for the UK leg of their tour comes from fellow Bristolians Heavy Lungs, who describe themselves as “a loud band”. Based on that it’s not hard to figure out why they’ve been chosen to support the pummelling Idles.
