Jamie T and IDLES on their huge Finsbury Park gig: “It’s gonna be a celebration”
‘The Theory Of Whatever’, Jamie T will play the biggest headline show of his career at London’s Finsbury Park next weekend (June 30) with special guests IDLES.Ahead of the gig, Jamie and the Bristol band’s Joe Talbot spoke to NME about how they met, their mutual appreciation, what to expect from the “celebration” of a gig and how they’re starting a soul band with Willie J Healey.For Jamie, the gig is set to be a family affair, with his parents both set to be in attendance. “I never really tend to get people down to shows, and my parents have only seen two gigs of mine ever, at Brixton Academy and Ally Pally, but this is important so I’ve got everyone down,” he told NME.“I’ve been doing this for 17 years now, and it seems like the right moment to get everyone together,” he added.
