The Scottish rockers released their most recent album, ‘Interview Music’, back in 2019. In a four-star review of the album, NME‘s Andrew Trendell wrote: “Free from commercial constraints, Idlewild are reinvigorated. ‘Interview Music’ is their best work in 17 years.
“They seem driven by the joy of making music great again. It won’t change the world, but this record is a wonderful world all of their own.”
While announcing a new “experimental” solo EP back in March, Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble spoke to NME about the band’s plans for the anniversary tour.
“We did the 15th anniversary for ‘The Remote Part’ in 2017 and we got Bob [bassist from 1997–2002] back on stage for a few songs. It was really worthwhile on so many levels, so we thought that the next time we had a significant anniversary we should do something proper for it.
“The 25th anniversary seemed like the perfect time to put together a proper show. We’re going to get everyone who’s been in the band over the past 25 years.”
