Idles' only UK gig for 2025 will be at new music event
Communion ONEIdles will headline a new music event this summer in their only UK appearance of 2025.
The festival takes place over two nights on 1 and 2 August in Bristol's Queen Square.
The post-punk band will perform on both nights supported by special guests, live acts and DJs. Tickets for the event will go on sale on 8 November.
Organisers Daniel Ealam and Scott O’Neill said: "Partnering with Idles, a band that embodies the spirit and resilience of Bristol, makes this even more significant for us."
Known for their raw energy and unflinching performances, Idles has risen from Bristol’s underground scene to become one of the most influential bands of the past decade.
Promoters Communion ONE said the event would be "Bristol’s newest must-see event of the summer", but it will also be Idles only UK performance for 2025.
Mr Ealam and MrO’Neill added: “It’s a space that’s right at the heart of the city which already brings some unforgettable communal experiences to the community.
"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.”
