The Idles will headline a new music event this summer in their only UK appearance since 2025.

The festival takes place over two nights on August 1st and 2nd in Bristol’s Queen Square.

The post-punk band will perform both nights supported by special guests, live acts and DJs. Tickets for the event will go on sale on November 8.

Organizers Daniel Ealam and Scott O’Neill said: “Partnering with Idles, a band that embodies the spirit and resilience of Bristol, makes this even more important to us.”

Known for their raw energy and unflinching performances, the Idles rose from Bristol’s underground scene to become one of the most influential bands of the last decade.

Promoters Communion ONE said the event would be “Bristol’s newest must-see event of the summer”, but would also be a showcase for Idles UK for 2025.

Mr Ealam and MrO’Neill added: “It’s a space right in the heart of the city that already brings some unforgettable shared experiences to the community.

“We love Bristol and everything it stands for, so it’s important for us to put on a new event with the people and fans at the forefront. And let’s face it, Bristol in summer – you just can’t beat it.”
