Foals announce Irish return with Dublin date in June

Foals have announced that they will play Dublin next June, with tickets on sale this Friday.

The British band will play under canvas at Fairview Park on 27 June 2022. Tickets, priced €49.90, go on sale this Friday from Ticketmaster.

Foals recently released a new single, Wake Me Up, with their new album due next year.

Commenting on the single, frontman Yannis Philippakis said: "With Wake Me Up, I just wanted to write a song about transporting yourself to a better, idyllic situation.

"I think we all had that feeling of the last 18 months being like a weird fever dream that felt surreal but very affecting. I think we all wished we could have woken up somewhere else at various points."

Looking ahead to the new album, he said: "There's a journey that the band has gone on experimenting with different palettes of sound.

"This time, there was a desire to take it back to more of the initial idea of the band where the rhythm, the grooves and the guitars are interlocking architecturally.

"We wanted to tap into the physicality of music. And we wanted it to feel good."
