As lead singer Yiannis described in an interview with The Guardian on Friday, their new album Life is Yours was “written in the midst of the Lockdowns. So, we came here and we shielded from it all by writing music that felt like an escape from reality and joy, but as hopeful for a comeback.” the future “.
Opener Wake Me Up embodies their fresh, upbeat outlook.
The massive crowd cheered the trio as their positive energy reflected the bright and futuristic theatrical show, where large screens display a variegated array of pink flowers.
Floral images represent a powerful central theme for Foals’ new worldview: one of life and hope.
Pink roses were mentioned on the cover of the new album as Yannis threw some into the crowd at the start of the debut.
Yannis evolved into a ferocious pioneer, constantly roving on stage and in the audience, culminating with his trademark hustling audiences during the fan-favourite, “What Went Down,” in which he screams the imperative of “When I see a man, I see a liar” in faces.
When the spotlights came on at the end of the explosive 17-song set, the audience was in pure elation, cuddling each other and adorning themselves in the pink confetti and ribbon of tape that snuck off the stage during the closest ‘two steps, twice’.
Tonight, the Foals prove the future is bright for British rock, and they’re leading the way.
