Idlewild

Idlewild, the alternative rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1995, plays at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London, a venue that hosts concerts and shows.

Idlewild is a British alternative rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1995 and linked to the label Parlophone. Its first album, Hope Is Important, was released in 1998, and the group has built a catalogue of studio albums since then. Roddy Woomble has been the band's vocalist.

Among the band's best-known songs is American English, from the 2000 album 100 Broken Windows. Their work sits within the British alternative rock tradition that grew out of late 1990s guitar bands, and the group's records are the best place to get a sense of its development from the debut onwards.

The concert takes place at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, a London venue for concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who follow British alternative rock and want to hear the band's songs performed in a city where the group has a long-standing audience.
