Bristol band IDLES released their debut album Brutalism in 2017 to critical acclaim. Their second, Joy as an Act of Resistance received a nomination for the 2019 Mercury Prize. IDLES were also nominated for Best Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards in 2019. 

Steve Lamacq has been an avid supporter of IDLES since he stumbled across them at the 6 Music Festival Fringe in Bristol in 2016. Steve then booked them to play at 6 Music’s showcase at The Great Escape festival in Brighton that year. Steve has supported the band consistently throughout their career to date, including inviting the band to perform live in session on his show in 2018 and at the BBC Radio 6 Music festival in Liverpool in 2019.
