“A poem of light and sound exploring the cold light of day,” Idles’ Joe Talbot says of the track.

Idles have premiered their video for When The Lights Come On, taken from the recent Crawler album.

The new promo arrives just as the band have cancelled the three shows they had lined up at Vicar Street in Dublin next month as part of the European tour which will be taking place through to March.




“Due to regulations set in Ireland, and the continued uncertainty there, we have had to cancel our 3 shows in Vicar Street in January,” they explained. “All is not lost though as we can announce that we have a new show at Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin on May 29th, 2022.”
