Art deco themed throughout, you can see where the (supposed) £70 million has been spent. Pricey AF, even for London. £3 to put your coat in and £7.30 for a pint of Guinness. There was no support act as such, but there was a gent on a piano playing classical tunes for a good 90 minutes beforehand. Crowd were really up for it. Band were on fine form, although not perfect, there were a few missed lyrics here and there, not that it mattered. The new songs sound incredible, actually thought the tracks from Everything Now came across best overall. If we get a secret set at Glasto, it’ll be the set of the weekend, no doubt. Sounds good to me my friend, apart from the £7.30 Guinness. Disgrace. Stop making me feel confident about a secret set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenlangan95 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 First thing: excellent show; possibly one of the best I’ve been to, if not the best. Brilliant crowd; band on fine form. Also, they were doing special custom spray painted t-shirts at the show too. IMG_6278.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nib Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Bit of a shame that the stream / mixing sounds like it was poor - I suspect most of those leaving Koko tonight would've thought that was an all time classic gig - absolutely exceptional. Energy in the room was top draw - if you ignored the some of the band's kids (I assume) in the royal box who looked bored out of their minds lmao. The Reflekor / Everything Now songs in particular gave a very good showing - Win saying "fuck the haters" during Everything Now got a very good reaction. (And the new Koko is very very shiny! Almost all the staff were buzzing to be kicking off which I think genuinely contributed to the overall vibe too. Although did get charged 14.20 for two pints of Asahi... and then 12 quid for the second round which suddenly felt relatively palatable!)

GmasterWomble Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Unbelievably great gig, don't really know where to start. Setlist was great, only really missing Haiti & Power out. My body is a cage & creature comforts both blew me away. Age of Anxiety was the icing of the cake. Can't wait for the new album now. Also thought the standing crowd were on top form. Win telling the crowd to shush was quite funny, don't think he realised that the Koko bar is only 10 metres further back than the sound desk so was bound to be some background noise (albeit was quite loud). You don't have this problem in Arenas. £6 Pint of Peroni wasn't that bad for London either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneym Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hold on they now sell pints at Koko this is a revelation, it used to be overpriced cans of red stripe only from memory I was out last night, is the gig available to watch back?

I miss the Red Stripe to be honest, there are so few bars that sell it. That last song they played was fucking phenomenal, I can’t wait for the new album.

I mean there’s always a chance until they are officially ruled out. At this stage we can point to the fact they are doing small gigs and also did an early “secret” set at Coachella as evidence in favour. Couple that with a love for the UK and history with the festival and you have decent case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernMan Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don’t normally take my phone but may have to if there is really a hope. Will be disappointing to turn up and see Foals there though 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neville Street Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Anybody that was there got phone clips of second encore? Not watched the stream a second time yet, but imagine it’s missing.

Does your version have a spot in the beginning when it blacks out? Or it was fixed in the replay. Guess I shouldve checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
