Drawing upon facets of grunge, alt-rock, blues and unapologetic pop, the North Carolina natives craft upbeat anthems that underlie lead singer Sam Melo's poetic, howling lyrics and vocals.

Idles at Coca-Cola Coliseum

Idles

Grammy-nominated rock band Idles is heading on a new tour in support of the new album 'Tangk.' Describing themselves as an 'angry band,' the English punk rock outfit Idles fuse the cathartic, angular rage of their scuzzy guitar riffs, pounding drum beats, and rebel yell vocals with bitingly intelligent lyrics that explore everything from politics to toxic masculinity to tales of working-class strife. After the release of their acclaimed debut album 'Brutalism' in 2017, the Bristolian rockers have stomped their way through the game and are now hitting the North American shores!
