See footage, the setlist and more from the gig below.The gig was a special ‘out-store’ event hosted by Rough Trade for fans who had pre-ordered the album – released yesterday – and saw the band showcase nine songs from ‘Tangk’ alongside a run of fan favourites.Several times during the night, frontman Joe Talbot voiced his support for the people of Gaza suffering as a result of the war with Israel.
Introducing ‘Mother’, he paid tribute to his own late mum’s social conscience and said that if she were alive today, she would also support the Palestinian cause.During ‘The Wheel’, he altered the lyrics to the chorus to “Can I get a hallelujah? Viva Palestina“, before dedicating the ode to immigrants ‘Danny Nedelko’ to the people of Gaza and singing: “My blood brother’s Palestinian, my best friend is a citizen, he’s strong, he’s earnest, he’s innocent.”The gig also saw Idles’ invite a fan named Paul on stage to attempt to play guitar during new song ‘Hall & Oates’, much to the band and audience’s amusement.At the time of writing, the current death toll of Palestinians in Gaza stands at 28,775, with around 1,410 Israeilis killed and around 100 Israeli hostages still remaining in Hamas captivity after the October 7 attacks. Israel is currently being urged by many Palestinian supporters not to send ground forces into Rafah on the Egyptian border, where many of the strip’s citizens are now living after areas closer to their homes became engulfed by fighting.
