Following the success of their critically acclaimed album What Went Down, hitting the number 3 spot on the UK album charts and floating in the top 20 for four weeks, Foals have announced their first arena tour.
The band are set to play a handful of arenas in the UK and Ireland next February, marking their biggest headline shows to date. Everything Everything have been selected as the support act for the tour.
The single ‘What Went Down’ received mass praise and extensive radio support from the BBC, being dubbed Hottest Record in the World, Tune of the Week and Track of the Day in the process.
After launching their album at a packed intimate show at The Village Underground, the group stole the spotlight with surprise sets at the Reading and Leeds Festivals. NME picked Foals’ set at Reading as the highlight of the weekend and stated: ‘Filling the tent to bursting, Yannis and co delivered a flawless set of hit after hit after hit to a crowd of rabid fans, culminating in the destructive, crowd-surfing blitzkrieg of ‘What Went Down’. Not only was it the best gig of Reading 2015, it felt like a preview of what could very, very likely turn out to headline Reading 2016.’

10/02/16 – Dublin, 3Arena
12/02/16 – Glasgow, The SSE Hydro
13/02/16 – Manchester, Arena
