Idles are new for The Great Escape festival in Brighton.
The Magic Gang, The Vryll Society and Saint Raymond are some of the others added today as GE prepares to return between May 17th-19th with a new 2,000 capacity site.
Idles are making summer plans with a follow-up to their incendiary debut album Brutalism now completed. They recently signed to Partisan Records ahead of its release. “This is not a decision based on greed,” Joe Talbot said.
“They excite us and have injected ideas and passions into our camp that we would not have mustered. We as a family have realised our limitations in as far as the ship we have built with you all is becoming too much for the team we have to achieve the best of our abilities.”
“It was time to admit a necessity for help but we needed that to come in the form of trusted, earnest and like-minded people who were as passionate about our art and you people as we were: Partisan Records are the partners we were looking for.”
