British rock band IDLES are to bring their world tour to Live at The Piece Hall 2024 – for one of only four UK summer dates.
The multi-award winning five-piece will perform a headline set at the historic Yorkshire venue on Saturday 13 July.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 8 December via ticketmaster.co.uk
Formed in Bristol in 2009, IDLES are made up of Joe Talbot (vocals), Mark Bowen (guitar), Lee Kiernan (guitar), Adam Devonshire (bass) and Jon Beavis (drums).
The Halifax date is an extension to their current world tour, alongside a series of shows planned for the US and South America next year, which will also see the release of their fifth album TANGK in February.
Vocalist Joe Talbot says of TANGK: “I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.”
The 11-track TANGK was co-produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, The Smile, Beck), Kenny Beats (Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, Benee) and the band’s Mark Bowen.
Extending an explosive run of unerringly stirring albums, TANGK is IDLES most ambitious and striking record yet. They launched the album with the single Dancer, which features backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem duo James Murphy and Nancy Whang. Expect another new track to be unveiled soon…
TANGK follows IDLES’ 2021 album CRAWLER which became their third successive UK Top 10 set and led to their first two GRAMMY Award nominations – building upon previous Ivor Novello Award as well as a BRIT nomination.
IDLES join Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Jess Glynne, Fatboy Slim, PJ Harvey, Tom Odell, Pixies, Richard Ashcroft, McFly, Loyle Carner and Status Quo among the headliners for Live at The Piece Hall 2024 – with many more to be announced.
The Halifax show is co-promoted by The Piece Hall Trust and Cuffe and Taylor.
