X-clusive: See Idlewild For Free With Xfm
Continuing our unbroken run of Xfm Live Sessions this year with The Streets, The Thrills, The Music, Kasabian, Athlete, Ash and Keane all recently taking the stage for us, we can exclusively announce that Idlewild are the next act lined up to play.
Following the massive critical and commercial success of the new album 'Warnings/Promises' we are proud to announce that Idlewild will be playing an exclusive Xfm Live Session in association
with Jameson Irish Whisky.
The gig will be taking place at The Carling Academy, Islington, London on Wednesday May 11. Considering Idlewild could easily sell out a handful of gigs at Brixton Academy (capacity 5,000) the chance of seeing them in such intimate surroundings (capacity 800) will make this a very, very special gig.
Anyway, doors will be open at 7:00pm (with no support band) and Idlewild will be onstage at 9:00pm. And, as if that wasn't enough, Xfm's very own Iain Baker will be DJing and compering throughout the evening.
Like our already legendary Xfm Live Sessions tickets for the gig aren’t available through the usual outlets, but you can win them by listening to 104.9 Xfm or by entering our exclusive competition online simply by clicking here.
Recent Xfm Live Sessions with Jameson have included Kasabian, The Music, The Streets, Graham Coxon, The Thrills, Ash, Jet, Snow Patrol, lostprophets, Athete, Keane and Supergrass. To have a look at the full archive of these amazing excluisve sessions just click here.
