Idyllic on ‘Side Eye’

Challenging the System, Finding Their Sound and Looking Ahead

For many emerging bands, finding a signature sound can take years of experimentation. For idyllic, however, their last single ‘Side Eye’ feels like the moment everything clicked into place. Blending indie rock melodies with unexpected reggae influences and politically charged lyricism, the track captures a band growing increasingly confident in both their songwriting and identity.

TRNSMT Festival June 19th - 21st 2026

Day Three: Sunday, June 21st

The third and final day of TRNSMT festival happened to be the very day of the summer solstice—the longest day of the year. So I knew I had a very long day ahead of me, and thus planned accordingly. It began again on Glasgow Green, another burning sunny day, although I’d prepared a bit more with lathered suncream on my still-recovering burns from the day prior. I’d also arrived a bit later, if only to save my feet from the inevitable, but I was still just as full of enthusiasm.

TRNSMT Festival June 19th - 21st 2026

Day Two: Saturday, June 20th

Horrible news to awaken to: Scotland’s lost the game. The sombre mood felt palpable for perhaps twenty minutes until I realized the sun was shining down, and I couldn’t be bummed for much longer. Sun cream was a must, and back to Glasgow Green I went, beaming beneath the bright blue sky. The only traces of yesterday’s misery was, perhaps, the amount of mud I squished beneath my feet.

Primavera Sound Festival - Barcelona

June 4th - 6th 2026

This being my third consecutive time attending Primavera Sound in Barcelona I thought I knew what I was getting myself in for. In a shock to myself and everybody else I knew attending, which judging by the departures lounge at Prestwick airport was everybody and their auntie, this was a festival experience nobody was expecting.
