The huge world tour Idles have been on since the release of Joy As An Act Of Resistance last year sure has been a beautiful thing, and it’ll be officially chronicled on December 6th.

A Beautiful Thing: Idles Live At Le Bataclan will be available on various coloured vinyl, CD and digital formats, with the live version of Mother being made available as an instant grant to those who pre-order.

“Our show at Le Bataclan was the end of a very long journey for us,” the band say. “On that tour, we learnt so much about ourselves, each other and the audiences we have grown with over the past 10 years.”

“That show was nothing short of catharsis and nothing more than love. We love what we do and the people who have carried us here, there was no hiding that night at Le Bataclan and we are so very grateful that the moment was captured in all its glory, love and fatigue.”

“Long live the open-minded and long live the moment.”
