Crosstown Concerts, Friendly Records and War Child UK have joined forces to bring a huge fundraising concert to Bristol on 24 August with IDLES as headliners.
On Saturday 24 August at the O2 Academy Bristol, a one-off gig will bring IDLES to the stage with support from 86TVs, Zalizo and a DJ set from Boca 45 for the gig which will be hosted by acclaimed comedian, Stewart Lee.
