Idles live in Manchester, January 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Idles will be playing the Bristol O2 Academy on May 2nd.
Idles and Portishead are leading the War Child line-up which has been curated to raise funds for those affected by the ongoing events in Ukraine.
“We have been kindly invited to play this show for the benefit of War Child,” Joe Talbot says. “Please donate or sign up to this charity. We believe that nobody should endure war, especially children. Thank you,”
“We are really pleased to be able to support the people of Ukraine by performing a few songs at this event in collaboration with the amazing War Child charity,” Portishead add.
Also on another deep War Child bill are Billy Nomates, Katy J Pearson, Willie J Healey and Wilderman, whilst Heavy Lungs – whose frontman Danny Nedelko is from Odessa – have been booked too for a cause which he says is, ‘very close to my heart’.
