Foals

[charley]

Why is it that Rod Stewart plays stadiums while Everything Everything are the support act for a short Foals arena tour. No justice in the world.

Bit of a legend though Rod, my boss is going to the KC to see him, about £100 a ticket!!!

Anyone know any decent cheap-ish places to stay overnight in Leeds?

Cheers chaps

Are they too big to play reading now?

No! As they said in various interviews this year they would love to headline reading as they used to go to the festival as youngsters and love playing at reading. Plus it one of the famous british festival so I am going to say no one is to big to play reading.

Anyone manage to get Wembley tickets? Was refreshing at 9am and didn't even get a look in.

Foals should sub they are selling on a similar level to Vampire Weekend tickets did on the arena tour prior to 2014.

They actually seem to be selling better (most of standing and cheap seating sold) after a couple of hours than VW's did after months. Not that I think it does come down to how many tickets they sell in comparison, it's just an odd thing to lie about.

Vampire Weekend sold standing and cheap seats out quickly eh

 

End of the day if your headline status in that genre of music you should be selling out standing almost instantly due to demand. Headlining Leeds, can't sell out standing at Leeds FDA quickly ain't right.

Worth noting VW sold about half of the tickets for the Hydro.

Where did you here that mate? I heard it was closer to 3,000 tickets sold for the hydro

[Superscally]

I struggle to make that connection if i'm honest...

Sounds like Myxomatosis remixed by the Stooges...

I was going on pics and videos. 3,000 wouldn't really surprise me.

Foals basically confirmed for Reading and Leeds 2016

Would seem logical. They've done Latitude and Bestival, and won't headline Glasto, T, V or Isle Of Wight. Must be R+L.

[LondonTom]

Could still be glasto.

I hope so. or the rest of the line up is decent at Reading/Leeds

[FloorFiller]

doubtful it's gonna be Glastonbury. i mean, it could be, but they seem like a better fit to make the headliner step up at R/L to me

'Best Act in the World Today'. That's a pretty respectable title.

If the best act in the world can't headline R+L then I don't know who can.

[lightning1000]

R+L very rarely have great acts headline. Never the the greatest band in the world

I can't myself see it being anywhere else than Reading even if it is ludicrous. It won't be Glasto and BST wouldn't be close to taking a chance on them. I think they have two larger sized head acts to compensate it but this is a booking that will definitely be the effect of selling ticket prices for days at least lower. My best bet would be FF and Muse, I've seen Kanye banded about but they can't risk him on a possible Foals year, it would end Leeds.

[Gucci Piggy]

Gazza why do you post on two accounts now?

[devilman]

Gazza why do you post on two accounts now?

Because his brain has actually split into 2 cells now. We await the day when one of the cells is able to string words together that make sense instead of random gibberings.

Kanye would be huge at R&L???
