Foals detail first live plans for 2019

Foals have begun to detail their live plans for next year with a follow-up to 2015’s What Went Down (hopefully) heading our way next year.

The band will play Germany’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park events in Nürburgring and Zeppelinfeld respectively between June 7th – 9th, starting where they left off after concluding What Went Down’s campaign during the 2017 festival season. Bass player Walter Gervers has since departed, a decision the band described as ‘sad’ when discussing the news on social media at the start of this year.

“To all our fans,” they wrote. “Sadly we have to announce that our mate Water has decided to leave the band to pursue a new life. The parting has been sad but we remain firm friends. He’ll always be our brother, we love him and wish him well in his future endeavours.”

“We had 12 amazing years touring together from a small postal van to the Pyramid Stage and beyond. It’s the end of a chapter, but not the end of the book. We want to thank him for all his time and energy and passion and we want to thank you for all your support from the early days and into the future.”
