The first ever By The Sea festival has confirmed its full line-up.
The events takes place at Margate’s Dreamland Pleasure Park between November 13th-14th, and has Foals and Hot Chip signed up as headliners. Now joining them over the weekend are LoneLady, Teleman, Loyle Carner, Boxed In, All We Are, NZCA Lines, Tom Vek, Real Lies, Blaenavon and Cosmo Sheldrake.
“‘What Went Down’ is the invigorating, ambitious platform that should make this possible,” our review of Foals’ most recent album reads.
“Less of a gamble so much as a calculated risk, it bears all the hallmarks of a band at ease with itself and radiates an inner confidence – one which Foals collectively might be the first to admit they haven’t always felt in the past.”
“Some of this unintentional hubris may stem from their highly self-critical frontman Yannis Phillipakis, some of it from producer James Ford, but within seconds of the titular opener’s monster riffs and act-of-god tempo kicking in, Kansas has indeed gone bye bye, the obtuse intricacies of the group’s previous work dissolved.”
