“Wide Awake is set to not only provide the platform for brilliant new bands, but also to pay homage to the established bands who have also supported us as independent venues.”

‘Super Early-Bird’ tickets for the festival sold out last month, but general sale tickets are on sale now for £44.50. You can find those and more information about Wide Awake 2021 here.

Following IDLES’ set at Wide Awake on the afternoon of September 3, the band will then race to their home city of Bristol to perform a huge outdoor show on Clifton Downs later that day.
