Following the huge success of the BBC Radio 6 Music Festival’s Indie Forever night at Manchester’s Band on The Wall, the station presents a brand-new Indie Forever club night at Bristol Thekla on Friday 19th April.
The stacked line-up is headed up by IDLES who will perform a very special DJ set. Having just released their critically acclaimed fifth album ‘TANGK’ last month via Partisan Records, the band are currently on a massive world tour and will be hitting the UK in November for a major run of dates which includes two headline shows at London’s Alexandra Palace. Extending an explosive run of unerringly stirring albums, ‘TANGK’ is IDLES’ most ambitious and striking record yet and it follows their 2021 album ‘CRAWLER’ which led to their first two GRAMMY Award nominations.
Expect nothing but upbeat indie classics and bangers from the legendary Steve Lamacq. In a career which has included stints at the New Musical Express, Radio 1 and his current home, 6 Music, he has gained a reputation for championing new bands to success, while interviewing some of alt-rock’s biggest names.
Other guest DJs performing on the night will be Welsh punk quintet, Panic Shack and 6 Music presenter Nathan Shepherd.
Get ready for a night packed with some of the biggest tracks and future hits, celebrating the best of indie’s independent and alternative music scene. Tickets go on sale Friday 15th March at 10am and will be available from www.gigsandtours.com / www.ticketmaster.co.uk
