Foals

[JSmurphy]

Success! Tenacious D and Foals sorted.

[Hawros]

Sorted tickets for the 21st at Ally Pally, with the option of passing it up if they're announced on the farm (however unlikely).

I think they'll add the Saturday (22nd) as a screenshot earlier on this thread had the 22nd as the date. That'd be preferable, but at least have these in the bag.

Fair play, I must have mis-read the general opinon of Foals on here.

Been a huge fan since the first album myself, and seen them many times (including in a pub in Doncaster!). 

That said, I was a little disappointed by What Went Down. Felt the best three songs had all been released before the album came out itself (What Went Down, Mountain At My Gates, A Knife In The Ocean) and the rest of the tracks didn't live up that level (never a huge fan of Snake Oil).

 

Thats fine because Nightswimmers is an absolute tune.

Anyone care to guess who might be supporting? Got my hopes up Interpol might do it as Foals are supporting them in the US (did a similar thing with Cage The Elephant a while back), but looks like a one off and Interpol are touring themselves around then

Friendly Fires please.

No idea who's a sensible suggestion really, IDLES would really get the crowd going though ?

No doubt they’re already playing about 3 festival sets somewhere that day.

Theres a massive chance they will be playing I would say.... new album out this year and the two new tracks they have released  are brilliant.

I was very tempted with the 21st tickets. I'm flying back from hols on the Thurs though and thought I'd be too knackered. Saturday I'd def be up for. Unless they're on the farm..... Funds are a bit tight at the moment.

Argh why am I not rich.

They did this at Eden Sessions (didn’t do it on the arena tour) and was a massive let down. Hope they beef it up for next time

It is, seen a few gigs there and all good. It the sort of place where the band can only just fit their kit on the stage!

Foals confirmed to headline boardmasters and truck.

May be a stupid question but how does heading boardmasters equate to other headlining?

Taking this as a sign that Foal and the lads will never make it as Pyramid headliner after the dizzying heights of their sub slot in 2016.

Only a state of dellusion would make it seem otherwise.

They probably will eventually but it does seem they've plateaued at the moment.

The Chief Foal promised bangers later this year, he needs to deliver.

Nothing gets Gazza’s juices flowing like Foals headlining a mid-tier festival

Yes think it all depends on how well this double album is received.

I like Exits, its very Foalsy... hoping there's a few bangers like "one step two step", "Inhaler & "what went down"
