    Idles are one of the best- and most considerate- live bands I’ve seen in years. They put their fans and women first- first class citizens and tight as fuck. Joy as an Act was also one of my favorite albums of last year...I’m literally prioritizing Berlin to see them open...great choice if you ask me. 
    they are the most important band on the planet at the moment..and their fans comminity is epic.

    I've seen them play 2:40 with no opener and the same or longer with an opener. Just depends on the night.
  • Just recently got into Idles and they are pretty impressive. They seem to have a modest and yet rabid following. To me, they sound like an 80's UK hardcore singer got together with an art rock/post rock band and decided to make a wonderful racket. I also like their positive message. The music sounds more like they should be singing about booting someone's head in, which makes it a surprising contrast.
    I'm still hoping for no openers for the U.S. shows.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2
    2024 Sacramento, CA

    Idles are great... and intense. Check out new live album or video. https://idlesband.bandcamp.com/album/a-beautiful-thing-idles-live-at-le-bataclan

    As with other openers that PJ have selected, there will be those that take it as an opportunity to see what the band see in them... and those that will write them off and take in a few extra beers instead. If Idles open any NA shows I will be doing both :)

  • I couldn’t get into White Reaper. Too poppy for me. 

    I like openers for shows. Just a little variety for the night. But if it’s a shorter PJ show then no opener for me. I’m there for the meal not the appetizer. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.
