Idlewild to play Teenage Cancer Trust show, tease new video starring Jay Baruchel

The Scottish outfit have also confirmed that they will release their first video in 8 years soon, for new single "Every Little Means Trust". It will star Canadian actor Jay Baruchel, who's known for roles in the likes of How To Train Your Dragon, Undeclared, This Is The End and The Sorceror's Apprentice.

Speaking about the collaboration, Baruchel said:

"Idlewild have been the soundtrack of my life since I first heard them in Bristol when I was 19... I was lucky enough to be near the radio when ‘You Held The World In Your Arms’ came on and it was epic and anthemic and that was it. It was like hearing a favourite band that I’d somehow never heard before. At turns, violent and melancholy and crystalline and triumphant. I very quickly fell down the rabbit hole of melody, intention, and poetry that is Idlewild’s art. To say that I’m excited would be an understatement. I am proud and honoured and kind of still floored that I get to be a part of their work in any way whatsoever."

Idlewild's frontman Roddy Woomble added:

"We were delighted to find out that Jay was such a big fan of the group. It is always nice to know that your work is appreciated. The fact that he’s also been so generous with his time by agreeing to come to Scotland and appear in the video was wonderful. He is a very talented and interesting actor."
