Foals Announce Dublin Date

Mercury Prize nominated band to play Olympia Theatre in November

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Sep 2010

The gig announcements are coming thick and fast this morning with Foals announcing their biggest Irish headliner to date in Dublin's Olympia Theatre on Monday, 15 November.

It will be the band's second big Irish gig this year, having headlined the Heineken Green Spheres event in May.

2010 has been a remarkable year for the Oxford-based five-piece, having seen the release of their critically acclaimed sophomore record, Total Life Forever, which is in the running to win tonight's Mercury Music Prize.

Should the band take tonight's prize then tickets, on sale from Thursday, 10 September from www.ticketmaster.com and priced at €23.50, are sure to be snapped up fast.

These are early days, of course, but some worrying lapses into blustery Editors’ territory aside, Foals prove to be a tricksy, livewire prospect.
