Foals headlining Citadel Festival 2017 (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Foals have joined Noel Gallagher as a headliner for next year’s This Is Tomorrow festival in Newcastle.
It’s the band’s first confirmed UK gig of 2019, and is coming up on May 24th at Exhibition Park. It’s likely this and their previously announced festival appearances further afield will be helping to support a new album, their follow-up to What Went Down.
“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,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“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.”
“What happens when the cocktail of adrenaline and magic fades defies prediction, but for now there is absolutely no call to do anything other than listen and thrill to a group brave enough to re-orient stadium rock to a plain all of their own making.”
