Off the back of a mammoth Summer, kickstarted by their iconic headline set at Glastonbury’s Other Stage and capped off with a sold-out North America tour, British rock outfit IDLES will make their highly-anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand in January 2025 in support of their latest album, ‘TANGK’.
Joining IDLES on all Australian dates will be American outfit Nation of Language. Four years on from the release of their unexpectedly self-assured debut album, the band have attracted a rapidly growing international audience via their danceable and impassioned take on new wave, post-punk & shoegaze genres.
Opening proceedings in Brisbane will be Meanjin-based punk band VOIID, while Sydney will see the genre-bending ECCA VANDAL debuting unreleased tracks as part of her highly anticipated return to the stage and Melbourne will be treated to the debut of local punks LAURA & THE HELL CUTZ.
Supporting IDLES in Auckland will be the five-piece Polynesian Metal band SHEPHERD’S REIGN.
