Any word on prices for the Shepherd's Bush gig? Gonna try for a few tomorrow and wanna know if I'm looking more at £30 or £65.

I've been trying to find this out too but had no luck. But I'm gonna guess about £40ish? From what I remember of last year's War Child shows, I think they were around the same price as the acts normal shows

I bought tickets for the War Child Bastille gig and that was £51each inclusive of booking fees etc. I know its a different band but might give a clue for the price they are after for an established group.

New songs next week, looks like it’ll be the one they played live this summer. The double album thing didn’t really work for me, the first album was good but the second was a bit of a disappointment and overall I’d say they’re Foals weakest two albums. I’m looking forward to new stuff from them though, interested to see what direction they go in.

Bring on the Pyramid headline slot!

As with all bands like them who attempt the double album thing, there’s a really great single album in there for sure, but like all bands like them, given the opportunity to whittle it down they undoubtedly would’ve chosen the wrong songs to keep anyway. 


The days of me being excited to hear new Foals stuff are pretty much gone now as I think they’ve just settled in to their comfort zone now, but always willing to be pleasantly surprised.

Interesting - I've struggled with some of the album tracks on previous Foals albums but haven't here. I agree there's a good 12-14 song album in this, but there was enough to keep me interested across the two LPs.

Was about to ask aloud if they'd been announced for any dates next year only to remember I still have tickets from a deferred Brixton show. Unless there was a festival announcement that had passed me by.

Yup, the new single is Novo (Wake Me Up), which they played in the summer. Would be unusual timing to announce a whole new album though, given they've still not properly toured Part 2.

They've barely been able to tour for the last year or two so they probably have had nothing else to do than write and record music.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
