IDLES announce 2019 touring plans

Not content with their recent (and rather massive) touring schedule, Bristol’s fiery punks IDLES have confirmed plans for even more live shows next year.

The band, who’ve been on the road since the release of their second album ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’ earlier this year, have now announced a series of UK, European and US shows, set to take place from March through to May 2019.

The tour, which kicks off in Sheffield, will also include not one but two shows at London’s Electric Ballroom and will boast support from Crows, LIFE and Fontaines DC along the way. Tickets are due to go on public sale this Friday 9th November at 10am.
