Idlewild

Three decades into a storied career that’s seen them evolve from young Scottish punks to acclaimed purveyors of a unique, richly-melodic strain of alt-rock, Idlewild return for their first full UK tour in six years. Having dabbled in the mainstream with 2002’s Top Five LP ‘The Remote Part’, Roddy Woomble and the band have simultaneously cemented their status as true alternative cult heroes, with later albums introducing elements of both art rock and folk rock to their classic sound, always underpinned by Woomble’s poetic lyrics and consummate gift for melody. “A back catalogue so rich in great choruses, even some of its choruses have choruses” – The Guardian.
