Foals

[eFestivals]

Yannis just self confirmed on twitter that they are playing the main stage

I read that as him saying they'd want to play the main stage.

I very much doubt they were booked back in September.

[dirty_dog]

yeah didn't spot the date, reckon nailed on for the other stage though.

[mrtourette]

That surprises me after their "we don't wan to play in front of crowds like that again" comment, but yeah they deserve to play wherever they want to.

[FloorFiller]

they definitely deserve to play where they want to but... main stage!? didn't see that coming. still think they'd make a lot more sense on Other stage, but if main's where they are then good for them. new album will definitely do well. i can't wait for it

[Ed209]

one of Britain's best bands. Original, innovative, intelligent and a live powerhouse. Think they could do a fantastic Other Stage headline performance, expect them to go second from top on there though. I will definitely be there, regardless of who they class with.

[mrlibertinedream]

Do any of them still live in Oxford? I know that Ed moved to London a couple of months ago and I haven't seen Yannis around the city in a while which suggests he may have left.

Mmmm, i will believe it when it's in Black and White with a big C against their name on the Pyramid page. If they are then i will be there anyway. But if it was it would be a mid day slot and i would want to see them later headlining the JP, it's perfect for them.

I really hope they don't play on Pyramid stage early doors, been wanting to see them for ages.

The only time I have seen them was probably a year before the first album come out and supporting The Sunshine Underground.

I didn't actually like Antidotes originally as they had slowed down a load of the tracks and it sounded a bit over produced, but the new versions grew on me over time.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Headlining John Peel would be ideal - they seem very much a 'tent' kind of band - but they're probably too big for it already, let alone once the new album has seen them grow even more popular. Really hoping for an Other headlining slot (opposite a non-guitar headliner) rather than lower down the Pyramid.

[FloorFiller]

if they play Other stage i'd say it'd be second, which would suit me right down to the ground - long set without the fear of them clashing with one of the big Pyramid headliners

[cwaite123]

Foals now a TBC, wonder where they would play, headline JPT, sub other, 3rd pyramid, all realistic IMO

[FloorFiller]

good news! i personally see them mid / high Other, which is fine by me! just as long as i get to see them

[ghandi]

Excellent, please don't clash against radiohead! If they played JP on friday against the Arctics then i would have to chose foals. Possible they might close the JP on Sunday, in that case great

[LondonTom]

Brilliant , yeah JP or maybe depending how the industry see's the album going, could they sub the other? (Was thinking they might work well like white lies before a dance act?)

[1waveydavey]

Judging by the two singles from the album so far and the sold out gigs I reckon the industry is going to love them, they cant ignore what really matters, what the public / fans think.

Ive been slow to listen to Foals whch is worse when you consider I live in Oxford.. Started to take notice on the last album but what Ive heard of the new album is nothing short of staggering, a new Talking Heads.

[mattgimmeshelter]

So i've just seen they're now TBC, wow must be some specific information!

[FloorFiller]

Hope they get the chance to headline other, they deserve it

[Messy]

My guess would be second on other or third on pyramid. I reckon they've outgrown JP.

[cwaite123]

surely not headline, but subbing it seems perfect for them. if they end up subbing Sigur Ros i would be so happy

[MEGABOWL]

Perfect JP headliner. Get a nice full tent

[Sketchead]

Loved their reaction when someone said it was liquid shit, great video.

[eFestivals]

Perfect JP headliner. Get a nice full tent

I believe it'll be Other or Pyramid.

[LondonTom]

I believe it'll be Other or Pyramid.
