The momentum continues for Bristol punks IDLES, who follow raucous shows at Reading & Leeds and filling in for Steve Lamacq on his Radio 6 Recommends show with the announcement of their biggest headliner yet at London’s Village Underground on November 23rd. They will be supported by Life and Kite Base (ft. Ayse Hassan of Savages).

Tickets go on sale from Thursday 31st August from 9am.

They’ve also announced their biggest support slot too – Foo Fighters at the O2 Arena on 19th September.

This year’s “Brutalism” LP received considerable attention on its release and this alongside their incendiary live shows have garnered then a growing fan base ever since. Jeremy Vine is among their admirers, they’re in Radio 6’s albums of the year, they were 33-1 for the Mercury Prize at Ladbrokes ahead of announcement and they had the biggest crowd of the whole weekend on The Lake Stage at Latitude where they also performed a secret set for the BBC, also rammed, directly after at the Introducing stage.

As well as their own headlining tour, the band have performed dates with Dead Kennedy’s, DIIV and were The Maccabees special guests at all three of their final shows at Alexandra Palace.

They’ve not been hurt by a succession of brilliant music videos either. Take a watch of their recent video for “Mother”, where front man Joe Talbot proceeds to destroy a table full of china, piece by piece.
