Foals

I like how their keyboardist has left and their music now sounds more synth led than it was before. That will sound good closing out the Pyramid on the Sunday night though.

Typical lazy student Edwin.

Pretty pumped for the new album off the back of Wake Me Up and the snippets so far. The ENSWBL albums were a tough sell but songs like Sunday and In Degrees went over really well with everyone, so I’m glad they’re exploring that angle a bit more. Out of time to produce another My Number or Inhaler so why not reboot?

Release in time for the tour or near enough after would be grand. Could all do with a Foals rave-up.

Got my tickets for 'ull. Getting mauled by the Foals

Billie Eilish, Harry Styles and Foals, what a trio!

We got reason to believe adequate8 is in the know then?

Pyramid sub again? Or could they have even stepped in to QOTSAs seemingly vacant slot?

I recall they’ve sent Glasto info to Neil privately before. Can’t remember what.

Friday Other would be perfect. Could see that being one of the more densely populated crowds for that stage when everyone has left Billie because she fell asleep again.

Wolf Alice > Foals for Friday night 🧐

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Friday Other seems about right. Like with Tame Impala it seems better than just having them repeat the same slot they’ve done a few years back.

[the wonderwhy]

Adequate says he knows a Wilderness headliner as well (which I’m guessing now is Foals lol) 

Great news this. 

[dentalplan]

@adequate8 Any chance you could tell us what you’ve heard? I don’t think Neil logs in on weekends.

[Tuna]

Would have expected Pyramid sub but the QOTSA hole is a bit perfect innit. 

[sisco]

I love Foals, please let them be a Friday night headliner on the OS.

I’ve slid into @adequate8 DM’s with the promise of not telling anyone…. Wink wink

[AlexOvd]

They are playing in Ireland on Monday so they have the whole weekend open. With PSB most likely headlining Other on Sunday they could be Friday or Saturday, however I can't see them against Macca (if Macca is headlining, if it's Harry they could totally do that). If they are coming, I don't think they will come to sub again so replacing QOTSA makes sense...

Is it weird for me to feel like the cross over between Foals/Billie is quite a bit, Radio 1 listeners / Reading type band. 

They'd be a pretty big get and if the case is that its Fender > Billie on the Pyramid with Wolf Alice > Foals that just seems too much cross over of similar artists.

Nah you’re overthinking it.

The crossover between the Cure and Christine and the Queens would be greater than Billie Eilish and Foals

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

There was probably a massive crossover between The Killers and Chems as two massive, mainstream artists relative to the stages they were each on.

It’s out there now so deleting, gonna go through Neil in future haha!

Nice. Not quite as good as QOTSA considering Foals are seemingly everywhere all of the time, but a decent alternative to Billie. I like Simz, but Foals are the front runner for the Friday night for me so far.

Also RIP any ‘they could still headline’ talk.

 

Unless….

It will never go away, but it will become less contagious and we'll learn to live with it.

I think in Foals vs QOTSA, many of us do like both but it really wasn't the best time to see Queens with everything that's going on. My enthusiasm was definitely damp.

Foals is a fantastic trade and, for people's first headliner since 2019, they're waaaay more likely to bring the goods and throw a party so I'd probably class it as a step up, all in all.

I can imagine they will have a massive crowd, maybe even bigger than Queens.
