Daniel Ealam and Scott O’Neill, promoters at Communion ONE, said: “We cannot wait to bring this event to Queen Square. It’s a space that’s right at the heart of the city which already brings some unforgettable communal experiences to the community and partnering with IDLES, a band that embodies the spirit and resilience of Bristol, makes this even more significant for us. We love Bristol and everything that it represents so it’s important to us that we curate a new event with the people and the fans at the forefront. And let’s face it, Bristol in the summer - you just can’t beat it.”
