Foals are playing Dublin in February
Update: Second show added on Friday March 1st.
While the new Foals song above was too reminscent of Jane’s Addiction/Rage Against The Machine for me on initial listens to get behind, I played it while DJing last week and there’s an undeniable funkiness to that rhythm which is top bloody notch. ANYHOW.
The band have announced a UK and Ireland tour for February in support of the new album that single comes from: Holy Fire. The relevant Irish date so far is Thursday February 28th in The Academy and the rest of the UK dates are below. Tickets €24.90 plus fees on sale Friday at 9am.
