Foals, DMA’s and Lewis Capaldi have confirmed their appearances at Manchester’s Sounds Of The City series next year.

Gigs will take place at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester during the course of ten days from the start of July 2020, and Kaiser Chiefs, The Streets, Crowded House, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott and Hacienda Classical are also set to be a part of it.




Foals continue to sort their live details for the new decade after releasing the two part affair Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost this year; “It’s the damaged, cut sharp aggression of Black Bull that drags everything down with it though,” our Part 2 review reads.

“’Don’t look at me like that’ screams Philippakis, railing against the straitjacket of male expression or suppression whilst guitars harden and scrape beside the words. In this instant they’ve never sounded more desperate.”

“This is you feel, however, the sort of storm which will eventually have to blow itself out, and over time the ferocity ebbs into something more reflective: the tumbling pianos of Ikaria call the halt, a new calm which ushers in the glassy eyed melancholia of Dreaming and its predecessor Like Lightning.”
