The much awaited Eden Project shows have been rescheduled again, with Bristol punks IDLES set to play in September.
The Eden Project is always home to some superb gigs, this year IDLES are set to play the iconic venue. The shows have been in fans’ diaries for some time, with the shows originally scheduled for June and July. All things being well, the band will bring their unique, political punk tunes to Cornwall in September of this year. IDLES are gearing up for a mega year of shows, with UK, Europe, US and South America dates in the diary. They bagged their first ever number one album last year, with ‘Ultra Mono’ and fans are itching to hear the band unleash new tracks live.
A pilot event took place in Liverpool this week, with Stockport indie-lads, Blossoms, taking to the main stage for the first live gig in months. Festivals are announcing lineups left, right and centre and there seems to be a real feeling of optimism as Brits deliberate concert plans over a pint in the sun (or rain).
IDLES will be joined by Black Honey, fresh from the release of their second studio offering ‘Written and Directed’. The album was met with a strong response from fans and journos and landed the Brighton band their first top-ten album. Black Honey have quite the CV when it comes to tour support, opening for Royal Blood and Queens of The Stone Age – they will be able to add IDLES to this impressive list come September.
Also on the bill are fellow Bristol-rockers Spectres: they’re a noise-rock outfit who have built quite the cult-following off the back of three albums. Fans are sure to flock to this one, with three exceptional bands performing in a truly iconic and beautiful setting. Roll on summer!
