Foals

[the wonderwhy]

Rizzle Kicks played Thorpe Park the other day

A band who could possibly headline the other or pyramid stage at Glastonbury (or main stage at R+L)

Foals doing clubs isn't shocking, they hate playing big venues, I remember they were offered Leadmill and they kept saying no we wanna play queens social club which is like 400 cap

Were you promoting clubs alongside KS3 or what?

[oneoftherest]

please I'm 17

[dentalplan]

Yeah and that gig was three years ago.

[DomDom1984]

I find it hard to believe anyone even engages with thewayiam.

[justanothername]

Well his cousin does, but that maybe because they're family so he is forced to

As if its been three years, wtf

[JSmurphy]

 

What Went Down album preview, sounds really promising imo. 

[dentalplan]

After that trailer I don't know how anyone could say they won't headline.

Give it all, London Thunder and Lonely Hunter sound class. On top of the 3 we have already heard too. Cant wait for this.

So headlining a near 80k capacity festival doesn't mean anything then? Cool

 

 

The Libertines are headlining a near 80K, they shouldn't be as they just aren't quite there but they are. Foals on the other hand haven't and Bestival isn't even close to 80K, R&L is a MUCH bigger festival.

 

They headlined Parklife and Latitude festival too. 

 

Just saying.

 

I'm not sure how it justifies anything? Parklife is not even in the same league and Latitude doesn't touch anything to come into consideration.

[mrtourette]

If Leeds genuinely has only sold around 30k, then I wonder what the bands will think playing to such small crowds compared to other years, or even Reading the previous night? Imagine Metallica walking out to a crowd of 20k because 10k are watching Rebel Sound...

 

As long as they're still getting paid the same I doubt Metallica give a shit how many people they play to.

My point is they headlined alongside Snoop dog at Parklife and Outkast at Latitude. Whether you like them or not they are huge acts. Foals will be ready to headline Reading next year and I think it will happen.

You've just compared them in size to 2 acts who aren't big enough to headline r&l?

Edit- I think foals could headline as Melvin has been trying to push them for years, just saying it's a bad example used

I'm going to just leave this with lightning. I think you tied yourself up there yourself without any help.

[dentalplan]

Still though, Latitude and Bestival headliners are usually either acts that have been around, amassed large followings and a lot of respect in their genres or growing acts that are seen as on their way to headlining major festivals, not just any old middle card act so to say neither fest bears any relevance on future major festival headliners is just super-stupid.

Foals will headline/'coheadline' next year

 

With who?

[FloorFiller]

With who?

 

they'll headline alone - they don't need another act holding their hand

[dentalplan]

Oh my. Coheadlining is now the Buddy system for festival headliners.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Foals are strong enough

[dentalplan]

They might and they might not. Coheadlining is circumstancial bc if a previous coheadliner said 'no thanks' would the festival have scrabbled around for any other act willing to coheadline or just gone along with three headliners? Fuck a coheadliner it's too early in the year for this shit.

Anyone received a pre-sale code yet? Was hoping I could use O2 but it's only Newcastle and Southampton

Stop arguing with thewayiam FFS
