IDLES‘ Joe Talbot has announced details of three Q&A evenings across the UK later this year, hosted by Creation Records head Alan McGee.
McGee will lead conversations between fans and the frontman of the Bristol band at a trio of shows across November and December.
The talks will begin in The Y Theatre in Leicester on November 19 before heading to The Foundry in Sheffield and finally wrapping up with a pair of matinee and evening London shows on December 4.
The shows will come shortly after the release of IDLES fourth album ‘Crawler’, which lands on November 12 via Partisan.
The band are currently on a sold-out 23-date North American tour. They’ll begin 2022 with a run of sold-out UK and Ireland shows throughout January and February, including a four-night stretch at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.
