IDLES’ Joe Talbot announces ‘In Conversation’ UK and Ireland tour

With live music and special guests promised

IDLES frontman Joe Talbot has announced an ‘In Conversation’ tour, with live music and special guests — including Creation Records co-founder Alan McGee — promised.

Talbot will invite questions from the audience on each stop on his eight-date tour, which kicks off in Manchester at The Breadshed next Thursday (February 13).

These live events will also give fans “the opportunity to hear about Talbot’s life, influences and career with IDLES”. Special guests, including McGee and Inspiral Carpets musician Clint Boon, have also been promised.

The forthcoming album is set to include contributions from rising US producer Kenny Beats, who recently praised Idles as “the best band in the whole world”.

“I heard IDLES and was like: ‘This is all I want to work on, this is all I want to do, these guys are the best,'” Kenny said. “I got into their DMs and told them that, and luckily we got to meet and the proof is in the pudding. I care so much and I think they can tell. It has nothing to do with anybody knowing we’re working together or money or anything.

“I love what they’re doing, I want to be a part [of it], so now everyone knows I’m a part of it.”
