IDLES

I just never felt connected to the band. Lighting was a distraction. Whenever the groove was going the front man would do dull antics that killed the vibe or the guitarist would be fiddling with his amp. A real lack of cohesiveness in my opinion. Worst show I've seen all year. Venue was too big for them.

Absolutely brilliant performance. The energy of the band and crowd was great. The show would have been five stars, were it somewhere else. Roseland has some of the worst acoustics of any venue in town, except for Crystal Ballroom which is equally bad. Joe has an issue hearing his m monitor and had to sit out the first half of Mother. Luckily, the crowd was versed enough with the song to fill in the vocals, which was great. At the last show I saw there, the opening act for Big Thief almost walked off the stage. It amazes me how they continue to be able to book such great bands with the sound being so terrible. Multiple acts have voiced their frustration, but nothing seems to change. Idles, if you’re listening, I’d love to see you again at a better venue. Perhaps outdoors at Edgefield, at the Schnitzer Auditorium or Revolution Hall. That being said, staff was friendly and helpful.

Probably the greatest concert I have been to. Everyone had a great energy. Everyone was enjoying themselves. The pit had magnetic energy that always took me back in. This trumps the previous greatest concert I had been to which was Gojira in 2016.

Honestly, hands down, one of the best bands right now! No surprise they have a very dedicated following. Great crowd! I missed out twice on catching them in 2019. One pandemic later, I made it and can not wait to see them again! I left after the show with a big-ass smile and fully energized. Thank you! Also, a great venue, excellent sound & light, staff and all. No wait time, etc.

Die Jungs sind fantastisch. Fast 2 Stunden volle Power. Danach kriecht man mit einem breiten Grinsen aus der Halle. Meiner Meinung nach eine der besten Live-Bands, so eine Stimmung erlebt man selten.

Gli IDLES sono una delle band (se non la band) migliori attualmente attive. Dal vivo sono davvero fenomenali, una botta di energia senza pari. Gli IDLES sono una band politica, non hanno paura di schierarsi a sostegno delle cause in cui credono ed è bellissimo vedere artisti impegnati utilizzare la propria visibilità per questo. Quella che si crea ad un loro concerto è una vera comunità ed io sono onorata di farne parte. Hard rock for softies!

My first visit to The project House. The attributes of the room seemed to be a challenge to the sound man but I was very impressed with the sound quality it was very good given the room was not built for performance. I have been to lots of similar places and the sound was usually awful. First time I have seen Idles live and first listening to the new songs. I think the initial hearing especially live and and an immediate affinity to the work speaks volumes. The band were superb, the performance full of energy everything all together brilliant.

Class. Never sure with these record launches. Just play the new stuff and not much of a show. Luckily powerful performance of new and old. They were on form . Cracking show. Jammed in there

What could there be to say, about that evenings show, that wasn’t already obvious??? Smaller venue + HUGE band = 1 very WELL DONE performance!!! That being said, I do feel as if there was a specific kind of energy missing, making the whole evening just slightly incomplete. Hmmmm… If only Bowen were there, that particular evening. As good as Idles performance was… I can’t help but believe that his presence would have completed the circle, elevating the entire experience into a magni-fucking-fique 5-STAR show! Maybe next time…

I’ve seen so many bands in concert and they were great. IDLES… greatest fucking band I’ve ever seen live. All the positive non stop energy, crowd interaction, overall dedication they give to the audience. It was amazing!

2 años después del pospuesto por la pandemia, y 2 discos después, por fin llegaron y triunfaron. Qué barbaridad de concierto y el público entregadísimo también aportó su granazo de arena. Lástima que no existan entradas físicas como las de antaño para enmarcarla. Si puedes, ¡no te los pierdas!

Awesome performance again from the boys Only down side is due to popularity now,the venues are getting larger and less intimate. Inevitable I suppose but the energy from the band is phenomenal

This was my first ever IDLES concert, as well as the first concert I ever went to on my own. Holy shit. The energy from the band and crowd was insane. I was being slapped around by sweaty bodies for a whole hour and a half and I enjoyed every second. Every member of the crowd was looking out for each other, picking up fallen moshers and calling out to return lost items after a song. Plus, the bouncers made sure everyone was hydrated and safe. The guitarist (shoutout Mark) surfed into the crowd many times, passing around his guitar and playing in the pit itself. Joe's charismatic comments, honesty, and pure unbridled energy kept my eyes on him while I got hearing damage. The whole band was just exceptional, and the opener (Preoccupations) was also hella good! God damn incredible show.

Always a great show with an amazing pit. Lots of jumping, surfing, and diving, but no drama. IDLES continue to inspire fans to try and be decent humans. Now I'm just waiting for the IDLES Bon Jovi cover album.

Great show as always but some of the people there were just awful. One person bit my friend trying to get to the front and stomped his feet repeatedly. She also bit someone else apparently and threatened to "ban him from all New York venues." Kind of took a little bit away from the experience imo

I didn't think they could top the leadmill gig, venue isn't quite as good but the high stage didn't stop the fellas getting down into the crowd. The set seemed better and the crowd were amazing too. These guys absolutely are at the top of their game. If you can see them you really should treat yourselves. A whole room full of people singing "the best way to scare tory is to read and get rich" is really a pleasure I won't forget in a hurry.

Absolutely amazing. The raw energy from this band and the great venue and crown made this a totally unforgettable experience. Love that they don't bother with an encore, just play all the songs they're going to play. Guitarists getting off stage and right into the crowd. Really was an absolutely amazing gig. What a really lovely bunch of fellas too. Crows in support were excellent.

Après une bonne première partie (« John » from the UK), les Idles ont mis le feu pendant 1h30: tous les meilleurs morceaux de leurs 2 derniers albums, de l’humour, des participations du public, mais aussi dans le public, bref une super soirée.

Jaw-droppingly good from the first note to the last. Emotion, intensity and a genuine connection with the audience. The room was heaving. The most relevant band in Britain as the moment.

Such an amazing band. Such an amazing show. Definitely feel like you are part of something special at any of their shows. You get it or you don’t. If you do...you’re changed. This band is as real as it gets. Unifying and beautiful. I’m so incredibly grateful for their music and message. Thank you Idles.
