Oxford, UK quintet Foals will embark on their first North American tour in support of their sophomore release, Total Life Forever.
The tour will begin on September 23 in Minneapolis and will include dates in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Austin, the latter to play this year’s ACL festival on October 10th.
Foals released Total Life Forever this past May, the follow up to their 2008 debut, Antidotes.
Since that time, the band has played many sold out shows in the UK, including one at Camden Roundhouse, riveted crowds at Glastonbury and Rock at the Ring/Rock in the Park, and has sold-out shows at Reading & Leeds and Brixton Academy still to come.
As described by the Guardian UK, “A Foals gig is a chance for alt-rock kids to get down and sweaty to a band that produces highly danceable music, while preserving indie qualities such as angst and braininess”, in other words mind melting fun for everyone.
