Idles

British rock outfit IDLES will make their highly-anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand in support of their new album, TANGK.

TANGK is the righteous and vibrant fifth album from madcap truth-seekers, IDLES. Pronounced “tank” with a whiff of the “g” – an onomatopoeic reference to the lashing way the band imagined their guitars sounding that has since grown into a sigil for living in love – the record is the band’s most ambitious and striking work yet.

Where IDLES were once set on taking the world’s piss, squaring off with strong jaws against the perennially entitled, and exercising personal trauma in real time, they have arrived in this new act to offer the fruits of such perseverance: love, joy, and indeed gratitude for the mere opportunity of existence.

IDLES’ 2025 tour of Australia & New Zealand will see the band play their biggest headline shows across the region, with dates in Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
