Seems like they're doing a very intimate tour in March, can't see any other dates yet but they're playing the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh on 5th March. I think that's around 700-800 capacity so I'll definitely be trying for that.

Edit: Nevermind found a poster

How do I sign up for this presale without ordering the album?

Jeez the gig at Gorilla is £35+, hate it when bands charge super amounts for small gigs, I don't think I've ever paid more then 15 for a gorilla gig, definitely not more than 20. Not like you're paying for the same crew and equipment like you would at bigger venues.

On sale Feb 28th anyway.

Surely it’s the stature of the act that determines it, not the crew? It’ll be just a long a show with a similar set list to their bigger shows a few months later, won’t it? I’d expect to pay a similar price personally but would actually value it slightly higher as the intimate setting and being closer to the stage (without effort) trumps them having had more practice.

Yeah its well out of line with that them type of venues usually charge. Would have thought is should be around £20+

Tempted though, small gigs are much better

35 notes seems quite reasonable for a big act in a small venue.

Yeah it is when you think about. Its quite good they are actually doing the smaller venues too to be honest... wish more bands would do the more intimate venues.

If it was less, I’d be wary of it being an ‘album launch gig’ and swerve. :lol:

They didn't hold down Friday evening last time...

As much as I agree, I don’t think it really affects anything enough for it to be brought up as much as it is. If their chances of headlining Glastonbury have vanished, it’s not to do with the reaction of a bunch of people on eFests.

Why don't bigger acts charge more for their music then? I begrudgingly accept paying bigger fees for bigger venues but I don't get paying 3 times as much for Foals than I did to see The Murlocs 3 days ago. 

I get it's more of a me issue though and there's gonna be thousands of people disappointed they didn't even get the chance to pay 40 quid to see them. It'd feel like a proper gift if it was 20 quid though.

Because people might not buy it at the higher price point which could ultimately affect album sales.

Whereas there's no danger of them selling out 600-capacity Gorilla at £40. I'll happily pay £10 more to see them in such a small venue because it'll most likely be a better experience.

It's not the band that decides those prices it will be the promoter, they'll have to make their money back on venue hire and the bands fee and a band the size of Foals will surely demand a decent sized fee so in order for the show to be profitable ticket prices will be higher! Not a case of you pay for the size of the venue, you pay for the size of the act because it costs the promoter a hell of lot more to get them to play then it would bands who just tour the smaller venues

For the last seven years whenever that Temper Trap song has come on the radio I've thought it was Foals.

Not really relevant, but thought I'd share.

Now thats someone I forgot about and would love to see again... Temper Trap are pretty good tbh.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
