Foals

They did just seem to keep adding dates over lockdown. They had the tour for 2020, then a couple more for 2021 and they’ve all moved back to 2022 together with some new dates on top. Will probably have an intimate tour for the new album too, and then a winter tour.

Hard to get too much Foals tho.

Yeah I remember an intimate tour for Part 1 it must have been pre covid and managed to bag tickets for them at liquid rooms in Edinburgh pretty small venue. Unreal. Wee Barrowlands show or something would be tasty but I doubt it.

They're always about Foals which is great, pretty consistent touring and album releases for years

Would love that. Maybe being a longer set they may squeeze a couple in. Milk & Black Spiders is possibly my favourite song of thiers

Milk is a belter live too, saw them play it once when they toured Holy Fire. I’m sure I remember reading that there were plans to bring back After Glow as well, early lockdown though so maybe they’ve decided to bin it

Re-watched their secret set last night.

Doesn’t get much better than that really, everything you’d want from a festival set. 

Full headline set on The Other will be epic. 

I missed Spanish Sahara on that one, but no doubts they will include it in their headline set (I can imagine around one hour and a half set).

Yeah that was the obvious omission.

Chuck in 2AM, Wake Me Up, Black Bull, The Runner, On The Luna, Cassius and one more new one and you’re about there I reckon.

How long do Other headliners usually get? An hour 15, maybe 30 if they’re lucky? So if I’m being slightly ambitious but maybe even one or two songs need a cut:
 

Wake Me Up

Mountain at My Gates

Olympic Airways

The Runner

2am

-New song-

In Degrees

Spanish Sahara

My Number

Red Sock Pugie

Black Bull 

-New song-

Inhaler

What Went Down

Two Steps Twice

No Providence no party

I agree that it should be there because it’s a banger, but Foals have gotten to the point now where their setlists have become pretty predictable due to how much material they have and how many ‘mainstays’ they now have, and Providence hasn’t really been a mainstay for a few years now. Here’s hoping they bring it back though (in place of Mountain, hopefully).

I'm not sure how I feel about Foals headlining the other. I've seen them twice, and have got tickets the week after Glasto. If they're the best option, I'll probably sell my tickets for Manchester. I think they're good, but there's ample opportunity to see them, so I'll be slightly underwhelmed if it's my Friday night choice. Although it will be a good party and not a bad first headliner back after 3 years.

It's being talked about in a few threads but 'big news' coming tomorrow. Quite possibly album release date and preorder details. The last two (maybe more) albums came with an intimate tour for preorders so y'know... stand by your wallets.

Ah do we not already have an album release date? Had it in my head it was just after Glastonbury but maybe I made that up.

'Summer' was all we've heard officially so far, I believe.

Would fucking suck if it's just after Glastonbury. Suck for you, because I'm seeing them after Glastonbury.

There's a tracklist that nobody has posted. But it's just words innit. Doesn't mean anything right now. There is, however, a song called 'The Sound', because jokers on www.eFestivals.com weren't having enough fun saying "The 1975 vs Foals" already.

What’s eFestivals.com?

Just went looking thru old videos because they posted the new video for 2am and man does this have me psyched for Glasto and Foals and Foals at Glasto.

Also noticed a pre-fame Arlo Parks is in-shot in the first few seconds but I'm not psyched for her at Glasto or in general.

 

That's a tremendous video.

    • 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. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
