Foals

[briddj]

£15 for their gig at the Leopard in Doncaster in November 2012. That's inflation for yer.

I'm in for a London ticket, mind....

[TomViolence]

Loving On The Luna - has a TLF vibe. I like Exits too so I'm pumped for this new album. 

Gonna try for the Earth gig and if I don't get tickets, I'll see if Ally Pally is still on sale. I have been pinning my hopes on them playing Glastonbury again but not sure I wanna take that risk anymore.

Gorilla's website. 

That's obviously sans booking fee

How obvious! Thanks bud. 

Just noticed that on the gigs and tours website it says that general sale will be on the 28th February - the day after the presale.

Surely all of the tickets are going to be snapped up in the presale.... aren't they?

All the presale tickets will.

There's only a certain amount put aside for presale.

There’ll only be about 10 tickets in the presale. Given that it’s an open, no purchase necessary presale you may have more chance of getting one in the main sale.

How do I sign up for this presale without ordering the album?

You can pre-download the album on spotify via their website (or at least you could) and that would make you eleigible without actually paying any money.

[briddj]

Far fewer people know about the no purchase necessary loophole than you might think.

I'm a bit baffled as to what you mean by meh for foals? Like the album should be 10 songs like One step Two step? or Inhaler? or something?? 

I'm loving On the Luna it is classic Foals to be honest. 

I mean exactly what I say. They don't stand out when compared to their back catalogue. The new single does have a lot more going for it that Exits.

each foals album sounds like part 2 of the previous album, quite the skill..

We're going on the Saturday before,  just in case they don't play Glasto, but really think they would be brilliant headlining one of the stages,  and would prefer them to the Killers on the Pyramid if Emily would give them the gig.

I reckon they have a dozen really good songs and a couple of  brilliant ones.

If there are a few to add to that off the double album, they could easily hold down the Saturday night on the Pyramid. Would be a huge party atmosphere.

When i saw how their tour dates worked out, i was pretty confident they were going to play. however, im getting slowly more doubtful about it. I could potentially see a secret set in the John Peel Stage, which would be class. 

i would 100% give them a chance to headline, like you said they have enough songs to be a success. definitely create a massive atmosphere!

First album is the best I reckon - don't think they'll top it!

[Madyaker]

Well I for one am really enjoying the new tunes and I'm pretty excited for this album when 2 weeks ago I couldn't care less! I hope they headline the other.

At risk of sounding stupid here... but where can you get a presale code / access without making such a purchase?

Click on where it says 'NO PURCHASE NECESSARY' on the Foals homepage.

Doesn’t sound stupid at all, it’s a good question. Here’s the answer:

There's not that much meat on a Foal though...

[priest17]

Read the Q review of the album in the plane station the other day, sounds really good. Mind you they were waxing lyrical about Exits which I think is only alright.

Isn't four stars the minimum review score for any big British band in Q?

[uscore]

So am I the only one that loves Exits?   I can see On The Luna is a bit more uptempo, but it doesn't seem to do much. Whereas I find Exits a hook-laden stompfest.

[FloorFiller]

Whilst it’s still not mind blowing I find myself having On a Luna stuck in my head constantly and keep coming back to it. Damn catchy.

Exits still blah.

[uscore]

Funny how it goes.
