Idlewild

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, three years after the group came together in the city.

This concert brings the band to Usher Hall, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Edinburgh. The evening will suit listeners interested in British alternative rock, and in particular those following a group whose career began in the city and whose debut album followed in 1998.

For listeners new to the band, the most precise reference points are its formation in Edinburgh in 1995, its link with Parlophone and the release of Hope Is Important in 1998. Those dates place the group among the British alternative rock acts of the late 1990s.
