With four T in the Park performances under their belt, they are making their way back to Balado for the first time since their 2003 Main Stage set. Formed in Edinburgh in 1995, their first single Queen of the Troubled Teens kicked off their career.

different drummer used because Colin on paternity leave. Congratulations to him, his partner and family on the birth of their twin daughters. He'll be back soon - (the new guy did a grand job though i'm sure you'll agree). Great set. great band.

Rob
Always good live. Would've liked to hear them play more of the new album but great set.

Living in a Hiding Place is one of my favourite songs of theirs! Loved these guys for about 10 years now and they are so under-rated! They're awesome!

I've followed Idlewild for nearly 10 years, they are definitely one of britains greatest bands. Awesome set! Lovit!

Gogs
the rugs really tie the stage together...

roddy took my sunglasses halfway through the set just before american english. made me happy :D

Kostas
The most underrated band in UK. I have the new album and its fantastic. Roddy's solo albums are amazing as well!

One of the most talented drummers in the UK! Easy there Vivi Sterling. Who are you, his mother? Anyway which fresh new band is IDELWILD? I'm concerned they are merely Idlewild imposters.....That aside, looked like another decent show in the sunshine

danny
as usual idlewild were fantastic. they really should be bigger than they are...loads of bands take them as an influence and become bigger than them.

KevTait
Ace performance...Roddy is God

I've been following Idlewild for over 10 years now. Amazing, they get better and better each time I see them.

Richard
Absolutly amazing ...Thanks BBC. I agree Readers and Writers from the new album Post Electric Blues was the highlight

Drumtalk
That's not the drummer from Idlewild! What's with the boyband guy? He looks like he should be playing in a 14 year old girly pop band. Nice vest!

maggie
Not enough of Idlewild, Shame on you, Edith! they are brilliant!

tom
a cut above the rest, kings of leon listen and learn!

boomers

drb
Great set - they've still got it, one of best live acts around.

Vivi Sterling
That V neck wearing drummer is not from a boy band. By far one of the most talented drummers in the UK...which is why he was drumming for Idelwild.

Dignan
Awesome! Criminally underrated band! More please!

Glyn Brocklesby
