00:00Hi I'm Andrew Trendall, you're watching NME, we're here at Glastonbury 2024 with

00:11Idles. How you doing lads? Hello. Hey, how's it going? Been a lot of chat about the Idles

00:16Fontaine schedule clash. I just wondered if you've been like texting each other smack

00:19talk or anything like bring your own thing. We've got Shaitan's workhole in it. Yeah,

00:24I mean it's an inevitability when you get to this stage that you're going to rub up

00:29against your mates. We're just devastated we don't get to see them or they don't get

00:32to see us because they could learn a few things you know. It's happening. It's like fucking

00:40blur on Oasis. The comment section's gonna go wild. Fuck yous in advance. It's fuckery

00:47isn't it? It's fuckery. It's a weird thing to happen but you know what? There'll be others.

00:54You didn't like lace their Guinness or laxative or anything like that?

00:58No, but I did finger myself and then shake their hands so hopefully pink eye at least.

01:05Is headlining the other stage the natural step to coming back in five years and smashing

01:09pyramid or two years or three years? Yeah, I mean Ascension would be nice

01:18but it's all that incremental stuff. We've been doing this for 15 years and each step's just

01:28magic. It sounds boring and that but we're just going to keep doing what we're doing.

01:35We will headline the pyramid stage at the appropriate time when we can fill the field

01:43with people that like and know our songs. That ain't yet. We're capable of doing a show better

01:48than a lot of headliners I think but we're not there yet because people aren't, you know,

01:54it's bums in seats. We're not fucking dumb but we are good.
