A live retrospective of two of the most important albums of the last decade!

I posted a question on the IDLES ‘AF GANG’ fan page on Facebook recently stating it was about time that the boys considered releasing a live album. Two days went by and I checked to see if there were any comments and it looked like my question hadn’t been approved and uploaded to the page, I thought this was ‘tres odd’ and went about my day. Another two days went by until an email appeared in my inbox with details of a live album that is set for release on December 6th (Thank you Santa!), so I now see WHY the comment hadnt been made live….

‘A Beautiful Thing: IDLES Live at Le Bataclan’ is the brand new live album from IDLES, recorded at Le Bataclan in Paris on 3rd December 2018, at the close of a 90 date world tour. The album celebrates the band’s success over the last two years, featuring songs from Brutalism and Joy as an Act of Resistance, and highlights their overall message of unity, and of healing through community.

“Our show at Bataclan was the end of a very long journey for us. On that tour we learnt so much about ourselves, each other and the audiences we have grown with over the past 10 years. That show was nothing short of catharsis and nothing more than love. We love what we do and the people who have carried us here, there was no hiding that at  Bataclan and we are so very grateful that the moment was captured in all its glory, love and fatigue. Long live the open minded and long live the moment.” - Joe Talbot

Available on limited edition coloured vinyl (three variants, with photobook and download card) and double CD.

'A Beautiful Thing: IDLES Live at Le Bataclan' is released on 6th December 2019 on Partisan Records.
