Bristolian rock royalty will be headlining a brand new festival in the city centre next year. IDLES will headline the new event at Queen Square on Friday, August 1 and Saturday, August 2.
The new music event will feature special guests, DJs and plenty of food and drink over the two nights. However, the news that IDLES will be playing their only UK gigs of 2025 in Queen Square will mean that the music event is one not to miss next summer.
They will play over both nights during the event as the band rose from the underground scene in the city and have become one of the most influential bands in the past decade. IDLES currently have released five albums with two number one records.
Lead singer Joe Talbot, said: “We are coming home. We’re putting on a couple parties in Queen Square with music we love for the people we love. All is love.”
In addition, a range of live acts, musical performances and special guests will take to the stage on both nights. A range of street food and drink will be available.
Daniel Ealam and Scott O’Neill, promoters at Communion ONE, said: “We cannot wait to bring this event to Queen Square. It’s a space that’s right at the heart of the city which already brings some unforgettable communal experiences to the community and partnering with IDLES, a band that embodies the spirit and resilience of Bristol, makes this even more significant for us.
“We love Bristol and everything that it represents so it’s important to us that we curate a new event with the people and the fans at the forefront. And let’s face it, Bristol in the summer – you just can’t beat it.”
Tickets for the two-night event will go on sale later this week on Friday, November 8 from the IDLES website.
