Foals to headline 2017 Citadel Festival

In a UK festival exclusive, Foals will headline London’s Citadel event on July 16th.

By then, it’ll be very nearly two years since the release of What Went Down, a record which, after years of careful progression and word-of-mouth acclaim, truly cemented the band in the big time. It was one Live4ever’s albums of 2015, presenting them ‘in a place seldom occupied: they’re in the hyper-real state known as Flow’:

“Calling albums ‘mature’ in the twenty first century only serves to dust them with an un-hip, unwanted cache, but ‘What Went Down’ is just that, an assured, collective major leap forward both in vision and momentum.”

“You sense by the end that for the first time ever, Foals are moving without any heed of friction, that whatever comes, this is a time they’ll recognise as one when they were in the subconscious grip of flow.”
