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.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
