After their explosive set at Rock for People 2025, IDLES are coming back to the Czech Republic.

The British band will perform on 7 July 2026 at Forum Karlín in Prague, marking their seventh appearance in the country and their largest headline show here to date.

Tickets go on sale on 4 December at 11:00 via the RFP Concerts website.

Formed in Bristol, IDLES built their reputation on raw intensity, politically charged lyrics, and high-energy live shows. Their sound moves between punk and post-punk, driven by aggressive instrumentation and an unfiltered emotional delivery that has made them one of the most talked-about live bands of the past decade.

The group has released two UK number one albums and has grown from underground favourites into a globally recognised, Grammy-nominated act. In recent years, their reach has expanded beyond music, including work on the original soundtrack for the upcoming film Caught Stealing, directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Their live reputation has only grown stronger internationally. During a recent US tour, they headlined Forest Hills Stadium in New York. At Glastonbury, their performance on the Other Stage became widely discussed after a Banksy intervention involving an inflatable boat installation featuring migrant figures, turning the set into one of the festival’s most talked-about moments.

IDLES have maintained a long relationship with Czech audiences, first performing at Rock for People in 2017 before returning multiple times, including two sold-out club shows in 2019 and 2022, and another appearance in 2025.

According to festival organisers, the band’s trajectory in the country has mirrored their global rise from small stages to major arenas.

They have also recently appeared as guests on the upcoming Gorillaz album The Mountain, contributing to the track “The God of Lying”, further underlining their growing presence across genres and collaborations.
