Foals

Fantastic gig last week at Earth. One of the best I've seen in a long time. So much that I had to get a ticket to the Leeds show they've just announced. Quite happy that that show is the new album in full actually. Can't see there being another opportunity to see it in full again. 

Gotta be at Glastonbury now in some capacity. Other headliners on Friday would be perfect. Though I'd quite happy take a JP secret set too

The lads are on fire right now - just imagine that In Degrees live version going off, and what a cover of Panic Room that is. Sheesh. 

Damn I love Panic Room anyway..... now even more! In Degrees is the big one for me.... at Glasto... turn the volume , bass and tempo up and it would set the crowd right off!!

Always been fond of Foals, especially Antidotes era stuff, but I found the radio 1 influencers constant proclamations that they were shoe-in headliners around the release of Holy Fire quite tedious. The music should speak for itself without need for cheerleader buddies.

moving on to What Went Down, which personally did nothing for me, I kind of felt that they were a spent force.

well, Part 1 is a gorgeous record! Like others have said, sounds like they’ve harnessed some of the old math rock identity and they sound so so good for it!

Listening to this, alongside their massive back catalogue and they are made for a pyramid headline slot now. I don’t really care where they play but I need to hear “Sunday” live somewhere at Glastonbury. That song has got some moments.

Still not stopped listening.... In Degrees, Sunday & On the Luna........... awesome songs I really need to see at Glasto! 

I actually hope they dont do a secret JP set as its never a secret and you wont be able to get in the tent to see them tbh.

Me and my mate showed up an hour and a half early for The Killers in 17 and we we just inside the edge of the tent with a decent view of the stage. I think Foals probably wouldn't pull as many people though so it might be easier. I hope it's not a secret set too though. Album is nearly at number one in UK now!

Everyone knew about The Killers and I was desperate to see them so I got in there for the start of Frank Carter.  I ended up about 5/6 deep back by the time The Killers went on.  

Just get there the act early and you’d have no probs at all

Thats the problem though.... I dont want to be stuck in that tent and cant piss for 2 hours before they come on haha! Granted they arent as "famous" as the Killers but you dont need to be to fill a tent...  its never secret and people know who is on hours before. 

I would much prefer they did a TBA on the Park like Elbow did in 2017.... now that would be fucking awesome! the whole glastonbury hill watching!

Yeah I’m not great at holding it either so got in there about an hour before (after just visiting the toilet), didn’t drink again during Frank turner and then started through The Killers.  Planning! Lol

You could get in the middle for Killers after Frank Carter finished, going in from the bottom right corner.

Foals won't be closing the field I doubt like Killers did.

Foals have only got a small chance of No.1 sadly. Sales hugely front loaded with presale orders.

The album is currently No1 hope for them it stays there for the official chart etc.. 

I think even a Foals secret set would a complete pain to get in the tent for exactly like Killers... but yeah as you say they wont have to close the field thats for sure....

No chance Foals will hold on sadly. No. 3 might be best they can hope for. Dave nailed on for No. 1 now.

1 Foals - Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost: Part 1 (15.8k) *
2 Dave - Psychodrama (15.4k) *
3 Dido - Still On My Mind (15.1k) *
4 Sigrid - Sucker Punch (14.1k) *
5 Tom Walker - What a Time to Be Alive (13.4k)

Yikes. What Went Down and Holy Fire both cleared 30k at the week's end, this won't hit 20.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
