very excited about this.

none of my usual festival crowd will be interested so will fly solo and get in the thick of it.

I'm going with the missus and her school friends, I imagine I'll be going solo fairly often ?

Similar buzz on eFests about Arcade Fire's appearance in 2007. Whilst I doubt Idles will hit those numbers, it is a while since theres been a band that get this level of interest on 'ere for their debut.

I remember the JP tent being absolutely rammed for Royal Blood in 2015. They'd only released 3 singles at the time and there was such a buzz about them. Wasn't on efests frequently at the time so can't say how they went down on here but never seen something like that for a band who didn't even have an album out at the time.

Depends where they are on the bill too. Second or third on the JP would likely put them against some big hitters on the other stages. They’d get a big crowd, but maybe not a colossal one depending on who they’re up against.

I doubt they’ll be that late on. They don’t really do that with up and comers that they’re trying to put a spotlight on.

Glasto debut, I suspect is meant.

Have they played Glastonbury before? Unaware of that.

This is amazing, I'd happily pay for a DVD of this and I don't understand half of it. I know there's already plenty of footage of them out there but this is on another level.

Been reminded of the EP they released years ago back in 2012, very strange to look back on considering where they are now. They sound like The Maccabees here.

That's a striking example of what May's Britain can do to a band.

The first I heard of them was the 2015 MEAT EP and I didn't think much of it. Only got behind them the year after when they released Well Done and I still don;t really like any of the earlier stuff (although it was good live)

I beg your pardon

[strummer77]

In all seriousness, saw them four times last year and confident in saying them in the JP will be gig of the weekend. Macca pulling out was a blow but this is the one really.

[FakeEmpire]

Agree re Idles.

Have seen them 3 times before and they're just an incredible live act.   It's got set of the weekend written all over it.

[vintagelaureate]

I saw them twice last year (Boomtown and on tour); my mates (who've seen them too) really don't like them! I have one newcomer coming this year so I am hoping to persuade her... otherwise it'll be a solo one for me.
