Foals live in Birmingham on April 23rd, 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Foals are building up to the release of their new album Life Is Yours in June.
After two years of rescheduling, both band and crowd were in high spirits last Saturday night (April 23rd) as Foals finally returned to the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.
This UK tour will take the group close to the release of their seventh studio record, one that’s already had several previews including, most recently, Looking High.
“This is looking back to a more hedonistic time in my life, and a more innocent time in society in general, pre-pandemic and before the existential threat of climate change,” Yannis Philippakis said of it.
“It takes place in an alley in Oxford with two clubs – The Cellar and The Wheatsheaf – that all the city’s nightlife gravitated towards. It was before clubs started to close down and our cities started to change into more corporate, arid places. There’s an element of being haunted by nightlife that’s no longer there.”
