Assuming they do headline Pyramid, which night would you prefer?

I would vote for Friday, I think they would bring the energy to electrify the whole weekend.

 

I just assume it would be Friday. Sunday is Swift night and they wouldn't get a look in for Saturday unless touring schedules dictated it had to be that way.

I wonder how this works when it comes to 'bump up headliners'. Eg. if they were talking to McCartney or Fleetwood Mac for the big marquee Saturday show with the expectation that it would fall through, and it does, then do they have to move the agreed Friday headliner across so they don't have a bump up headliner on Saturday?

I love this on first listen

I really hope their next run of UK shows is P1 and P2 in full.

Pretty lovely instrumentation. Was a bit annoyed that it seemed to build and then never crescendo but it's placed before the ten minute finale on the album - which I imagine will do that - so it's probably just as well, in a way.

Both part 2 singles are winners for me! Black Bull and the riff from the runner give me strong QOTSA vibes

Don't like these new singles at all. They somehow forgot to include a good tune.

Although I don’t think it’ll be a bad album I’m starting to think the second part is just a humdrum of leftovers from the album sessions not thought good/fitting enough for Pt.1 rather than a cohesive album in itself. Black Bull just sounded like a generic ‘heavy’ Foals song, The Runner, whilst pretty good, didn’t really bring anything new to the table, and this sounds like your generic Foals slowy that they can pump out with no effort at all.

Hoping to be proven wrong but they wouldn’t be the first band to fall in to this trap, especially as they’ve struggled to produce a really great single disk for some time.

It sounds good but it didn't blow my mind. His vocals have definitely improved, these albums are the best he's sounded.

It'll be great. AOTY.

Besides, y'know, obviously, the red jacket.

That looks cool. Do we know if it will be feature-length?

[dentalplan]

Some juice* in this here interview.

 

*the only thing they say about Glastonbury is that they'd like to play an announced slot next year.

[wro_lap]

I don't like that they don't specify "a headline show", although I suppose they've been asked about that in a few interviews gone by.

[uscore]

I think that admission firmly rules them out of a headline slot

[priest17]

No way I'm getting down to London for this, if anyone wants my ballot link lemme know and I'll DM ya
