Following sell-out UK and US tours, Idles have confirmed a 2019 world tour, headlining their biggest venues yet. The run will include their first ever run of dates in Australia. Tickets go on sale Friday November 9th at 10am local time.
Idles new album ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’ debuted at no.5 in the UK charts, breaking Rough Trade’s all-time record for most pre-orders and sales in day. It is currently the no.1 best reviewed record of 2018 (average rating of 88 across 25 reviews) at Album Of The Year and in the Top 10 on Metacritic. The band won Best Breakthrough at the Q Awards last month following their Jools Holland debut which NME called “history in the making…incomparably brilliant,” likening it to Arctic Monkeys and Kanye West’s first appearances on the show.
