Idles, Olympia, Dublin ★★★★☆
 The lack of a midsize, 5,000-capacity venue in Dublin is clear when it comes to a band like Idles. The Bristol five-piece have been going for 15 years and have found a rich vein of form in the first half of this decade, with three albums in the bag thus far, though 2018's Joy as an Act of Resistance is still their defining release. 

They've steadily grown, so much so that they headlined the second stage at Glastonbury this summer. They were last seen in these parts on support duties for LCD Soundsystem at Malahide Castle in June. It's a treat to see them on the third and final night at the Olympia this week - but they've far outgrown such intimate surroundings.
