Foals

Foals are one of the great live bands today along with Radiohead and My Morning Jacket. If you enjoy live music, see them when they're in your town. The only downside was that I still haven't heard '2 Trees' live yet. The Fox Theater is also one of the best venues on the planet with great places to stand, sit, and buy drinks. Kiev was a great find as well. Bear Hands were awful.

Touring in support of their 4th album, What Went Down, Foals put on an incredible, high energy performance. The show lasted for an hour and 30 minutes with 1 quick break prior to the final 2 songs, What Went Down and Two Steps Twice.

The sold out Foals show at Ponte Vedra Concert hall was truly a treat! What an amazing intimate venue with great acoustics. Foals were spot on... They put on an awesome live show! They played all my favorite songs except one so I was pretty happy with that. The venue had a bar handy so you didn't have to miss any of the live show and had plenty of bathroom stalls so no waiting in line... and they were clean to boot! Definitely worth the 1 1/2 hour drive!

Was a great show. Would go see them again in a heart beat. Especially for the price which couldn't be beat. Had an unforgettable time no doubt.

Foals exceeded my expectations as all the musicians are really talented and play well together. Thumping drums, funky bass and amazing melodic guitar notes! And that voice! This band should not be missed. I can't believe the singer can play guitar like that, so fast, with only his thumbnail

The lead singer has an amazing presence and live delivery. The drummer hurtled them into energetic numbers, yet they managed to retain the subtlety and complexity or rhythms that make them special. If you like their sound, then definitely go see them live.

Foals brought the goods Friday at the Bowery from the opening number to the encore. A nice mix of new and old tunes, all melding together to make one hell of a sonic tapestry. Just when you thought the intensity couldn't get any stonger, they have the ability to take it up a notch. The crowd was more than ready, and as someone who has made a residency at the Bowery it was great to see an audience really jump. Hats off to you Foals, gracias for a great show.

Foals rocked the hell out of the hall. Amazing energy from both the band and the crowd. They played every song perfectly and improvised really naturally on stage. To whomever Yannis whacked in the face with his guitar, you're the luckiest girl alive.

Foals rocked, hard. they kept the whole place dancing the entire time. i took a friend with me who had never heard of them and he claimed it as his favorite show this year. TOTALLY AWESOME

Energy, fun, and coolness! The band gave an awesome show from start til the end. The Ballroom was on fire. One of the best live shows I attended!

This show was amazing. All of the band members had phenomenal stage presence and really got the crowd into it. The energy was great. Setlist was great. All around perfect night. Thanks! Also, Ebsen and the Witch was fantastic! They have so much talent and were a perfect opening band for Foals.

Foals was awesome!! Someone had turned me on to their music so I thought I'd check them out. So glad I did-their energy was GREAT!!! Can't wait for them to come back around! Ebsen and the Witch were really good too. Looking forward to their CD dropping in January.

Simply the best concert I've ever been to. Esben and the Witch, while somewhat interesting, did not prepare me for the aural onslaught that was Foals. I didn't think it was possible, but they sounded even better live than they do on their recordings, remarkable for a band with so many moving parts. No sloppiness at all, everything was tight and sounded incredible - big props to the Magic Stick and the sound guys for bringing it 100%

The concert was awesome . Really unforgettable . The best I have seen in a long time

All 3 bands were very good. Really enjoyed Bear Hands. Foals were brilliant. Provided a ton of energy for a Monday night. Awesome show.

Everything about this event was stellar. Loved The Fox theater and the sound, Foals always brings electric energy, and the bathroom line was quick (always important). Best Monday ever

WOW! Talk about energy!...Those guys never let up!

My friend and I got there a couple of hours earlier to try and be at the front of the pit, and let me tell you it was so worth it! Foals played a variety of their newer and older songs (from What Went Down to Olympic Airways), which were all amazing to hear and see live! Foals' hardcore energy instantly transmitted onto the pit as we all jumped and screamed along to each word and beat of the song! The only issue I had was that it wasn't long enough, because by the end of the concert I was ready to drive all the way to their next show to experience it all again (and let me tell you that in my years of concerts I have never felt that urge to see a band again so soon beside Foals)! It has definitely been my favorite concert this year has given me! I highly recommend!

One of the best bands of the 21st century. They get better with every note, chord, song album, show, etc.... And they look they are having fun and appreciate you being there.

Great show. Wish they had another hour in their set, with four albums I enjoy from start-to-finish, I was left wanting MORE. The engineering for the vocals and keyboard could have been better. The loudness drowned out a lot of detail that makes me like Foals. I shrugged it off as first night on tour kinks. Despite it all, they were great to see live and not at a festival!

Should have been a great combination of things. One of my favorite bands, one of my favorite venues and went with my other half. However, I've come to realize that over time, the same things happen with all bands. As a band puts out more and more material, their shows have to cover something from everything. This usually mean the singles, which are typically not my favorite songs. This is what happened with Foals at this show. A lot of their loud, heavier, fuzzier songs that they have made their singles in the last couple albums. They didn't play Blue Blood which is probably my favorite song and not much off of Total Life Forever. Even for playing the new stuff, I didn't really hear many of the new songs I like. In all, it was a good show, but just not the magic it was when TLF was released. Still, they're great. Go see them.

FOALS was incredible. So much talent and energy. One of the best shows I've seen this year.

Foals was one of the worst live bands I've ever seen. I think they have a lot of talent in the recording studio but AirPlay is where their talent ends. There was no chemistry between band members, no energy in the crowd and the lead singer does really cheesy hand gestures during the performance. Paramount theater was way too large a venue for this band.

Foals was great and Night Moves was INCREDIBLE! Both their stage presence was unreal!

Foals will not disappoint, they are true performers and amazing musicians. I was semi familiar with their music, but after leaving the show I've had all their albums on shuffle since. Thank you for an great experience and awesome performance. Newport Music hall deserves some props too! Great venue!

Great show! The Foals always put on a great show... amazing band that doesn't disappoint.

This is definitely the best concert I have ever attended. It was so fun and I didn't mind the mosh pits at all because the music was just so great. The mood they set was amazing. The crowd they brought in was super friendly too. Made a lot of cool friends and conversed with all different kinds of people. I would definitely go to a Foals concert again!

FOALS will pull out every emotion in your tiny dancing feet and then make you feel like you are flying through the mouth of a dragon on to the breastplate of an ancient Greek warrior.

Best rock and roll band on the planet today. They had the place jumping from the opening song. They could have played a little longer than an hour and 15 minutes but it was very enjoyable.

Foals was one of the best live shows I've seen and I've seen a lot. If you ever have the chance to see Foals live don't miss it!

As usual the Foals put on an amazing show (5th time seeing them)... first time ever in Florida and seeing them in a 500 capacity venue was surreal... (they are headlining Leeds and Reading Festivals this year) As for the venue the set up was good but damn was it hot in this place... parking and drinks where both solid.

One of the best shows I've ever been to. The venue was great. Foals played an unbelievable and forever memorable show. So glad they came to Florida!!

It was my first time seeing this band and it will not be my last. Foals put on a fantastic gig. Thank you for playing in Ponte Vedra!!!

Such a great show. This was my first time seeing Foals and I loved them! Terrific setlist!!!

My two favorite bands in an amazing, intimate venue. What could be better? This was simply an amazing experience!

I had a BLAST seeing Foals perform....their energy was through the roof!! The entire performance including the Silversun Pickups was amazing and I will definitely attend Shaky Knees late night shows in the future.

Foals is an amazing act to see. If you have a chance it is a must. So much energy! Silversun Pickups put on a great performance as well!

What a great show the other night at Terminal 5. The band rocked from the 1st song to the last as this was my 1st time I got to see Foals I will be there to see them the next time they come to NYC.

Amazing show. So much energy. Way more energy than the previous two shows I have seen of them. He seemed angry and it showed through but in a good way. Songs all flowed amazingly together. We had a great view from the second floor right next to the rail. Definitely the place you want to be to get a full view without the mosh pit.

I've been to a lot of shows but this was by far one of the most entertaining. Foals discography is great and the songs sound fantastic live but what you also get with their live show is a boundless, raw energy. Yannis was a maniac: crowd surfing with his guitar and also jumping from the balcony into the crowd. I know he does this at every show but it still felt completely spontaneous and engaging. Rarely do you see a band work so hard and have so much fun.

Best concert of my life (so far). Great Energy and just amazing performance by Foals.

The Fox seemed to be the perfect venue for the bands. I missed most of the opening act. But Cage the Elephant and the Foals were great. Both bands had band members jumping into the audience, which seems kind of rare nowadays. My only complaint would be the incessant strobe lights being used, which I did not feel was necessary for the songs.

This concert was by far the most fun I've had in a few years, no experience could ever rival this show! Cage the Elephant had amazing energy and passion present as usual, and Foals were psychedelic and great fun to watch onstage. The opening band J Roddy and the Buisness were just as spectacular, J Roddy was very much like a Robert Plant! The Fox Theatre was absolutely gorgeous, and I wil definately be making another trip there in the near future.

Start to finish Matt and gang had the crowd behind him. His high energy and stage-diving reminded me Rock Shows CAN be FUN! WE all sang and danced along to the best of our abilities... Fox Theater is always an experience. This was not a SOLD-OUT show ( Amazingly AND THANKFULLY!!) Room to dance (some)

Amazing and intimate venue. Reminds me of a lot of great venues in NYC Both bands rocked the house

I have been told by so many people that Foals are the best live band in the world right now, and every one of these people were not wrong. I have been to many festivals and seen a lot of bands play, but gig experience is taken to another level by this band. The front man, Yannis, is so involved with the crowd which makes it so much fun and at one point jumped off the second floor balcony. Such an epic performance by the entire band. Would 100% recommend for music lovers. Not so much for those wanting a chilled gig, because I did come out of it fairly bruised from breaking Yannis' fall when he jumped. But, it was so worth it. Amazing.

FOALS are my favorite band on Planet Earth. I thought they were headlining both nights in a row at Terminal5 NYC. We walked in during FOALS' opening song "PRELUDE", thank BabyJesus, because on Night #2 CAGE THE ELEPHANT was headlining. The show was still great during our minivaction to NYC, but I sure wish FOALS had headlined on Night #2 instead of Night #1. Oh well. Always a transcending set no matter how long it is.

I had been hoping they would visit CA and looked for 2 years until they appeared at the FOX in Oakland, CA. SO worth the wait! They're set just highlighted how many HIT songs they have garnered in their years on the charts. Their live performance did not disappoint. But, most exciting was the CROWDSURF by Matt Shultz. OMG - in my decades of concert going, I have never seen anyone get even close to what he did. The floor area is pretty deep at the FOX, but not only did he traverse the entire length of the floor, he STOOD UP!....and then did a HANDSTAND!! It was yoga-esque and totally Rock-and-Roll! I told my son he had seen music history. It was so electrifying, we thought the concert was over...and felt very bad for Foals, who were on next and had an intense job trying to follow CTE. Seriously, nothing compares!

Cage The Elephant put on a great energetic and entertaining show with great lighting effects. The Foals were just okay. Foals stage lighting glared too bright. Blinding floodlights were focused on the audience through their performance making it painful to see much less enjoy their show. Foals throwing their spit water all over the audience was uncalled for. I was not impressed with the Foals. Cage The Elephant rocks!

Excellent show, Foal rules! Good setlist, excellent venue!

I came all the way from the Dominican Republic just to see these guys performing live and I have no regrets. Their songs are waaay sexier live and Yannis' voice is tremendous. I have to recognize that J Roddy Walston And The Business were also incredibly awesome and I guess there's no need to say anything about Cage The Elephant. I enjoyed this show from the very beginning to the end and I hope I can see them performing live again in my life.

All I could ask for was a double set. WASHED OUT was great, too.

My first time seeing Foals was so memorizing that I drove 2 hours to see them again 2 days later.

Get venue, the workers were so nice! The show was amazing! The Neighbourhood were great sounding and I would love to see them again! And as for FOALS... They blew my mind! Amazing as well, great vibe and such a great time!

Awesome Band, great energy, great songs, great live!!!

It was amazing. Foals are so great live, they get down, and have lots of energy, and they are also really nice. The El Rey is a really nice venue too, just don't crowd surf because security tackle you haha

What a great show. The venue is so cool. Great place for live shows. Bear Hands was a huge bonus and Foals were great!

Loved all 3 bands - FOALS is AMAZING!!! Their energy is huge and they are so technical. Bear Hands has such a unique sound and I love their witty lyrics! Kiev blew me away. WOW! Venue is PERFECT! Will look for more concerts at this venue and will look to see Foals and Bear Hands and Kiev again!!

Fantastic show! They didn't miss a beat or let up. Pure, honest, strong, unique and decidedly one of the very best newer alt rock bands ever. Powerful instrumentals with soul-searing lyrics. Great song line up, very good stage presence (amazing audio, visual and crowd relationship). I HIGHLY recommend Foals. See them while you can afford tickets. See them before they leave North America! You won't be disappointed.

Foals are one of the top bands in the world. I do not say this lightly. I see a live concert once every other month. I love music. I still make mix tapes (youtube playlists). These guys are legit!!! They can hang with the best of them like the Black Keys. These guys will be selling out huge venues very soon. They have great music, they bring a ton of energy. They play long songs and love to jam out and take you on a ride. I will see this band every time they are in town. Thank you Foals for existing and making music. You have forever changed my life.

They were awesome live! The quality of the sound was perfect, and they played a great setlist and entertained the public!

How is this band not bigger in the US? Absolutely incredible show. Great set list, amazing energy and the venue was awesome. Will absolutely see these guys again when they come back.

I haven't been to one of those kinds of rock shows in a long time, where everyone seems to be keyed in with the same energy at the same time. Those guys brought that energy and spunk to the Factory that gave me a night I will not forget anytime soon.

i saw foals for the first time in Colombia playing a festival but the feel and the comfort of a small venue is a great place to see them live, you get to watch them up close, there were not an alarming amount of people, so you are comfortable, and a good unobstructed view. Overall, a fantastic venue and band

Had great time at this venue. Very very hot though. Venue has great intimate feeling. The Foals are still new to me but the show made me like them even more. All bands put on a great show. I would like to see more shows at tho venue.

Outstanding! So glad Bear Hands opened; and the Foals put on a first class show! I brought my son and his friend along, they didn't know the band or the music and now they're BIG fans! Thanks for come no to Ft. Lauderdale... and come back soon!

I cannot possibly describe the experience any way other than to say their performance was purely transcendental. This is without a doubt my favorite band right now. They play and sing each note with an urgency that is palpable. Their music is invaluable but it is clearly meant to be heard live. Our most sophisticated recording devices are not capable of handling the energy and emotion that these artists actually possess. For the past ten years their paths have eerily mirrored mine in so many ways. I am so grateful to have this sacred connection to them and to their music. Indescribably grateful to know my heart is understood by complete strangers. Thank you Foals for putting on another epic show in Fort Lauderdale!!! If you have any doubt whether or not to see this band, please let me assure you, you NEED TO SEE THEM TO UNDERSTAND!!!!!! I am a lover of music and performance, and I've seen sooooo much of it, but I'm telling you this will transport you to another world (NO drugs needed, haha!).

The Foals were absolutely amazing live! The whole band really engaged with the audience and the whole venue seemed like it was going to burst due to the raw energy inside. Definitely looking forward to seeing them again when they come back down.

Proper rockers! One of the most engaging and entertaining bands I've ever seen. Not to be missed. Great band that is equally as entertaining as talented. Supermersive experience.

Awesome performance !! Crowd pleaser no matter what song was played. Was entertained x100

Amazing!!! Vocals amazing!! Performance amazing!!!

the opening act bear hands was amazing. The show would have been great if Foals didn't come on and play their set and let the other bands play through. Does foals offer refunds? If not I would like my money to go only to the other bands that played.

We just recently discovered Foals and so thrilled to catch them at the Fox. The show was incredible and we can't wait for them to come back. Also loved the opening act, Bare Hands and we're new fans of them also!

Foals were awesome love their diversity of styles. Shout out to Kiev also who opened. They tore it up and have a new fan.

These guys never fail to impress. Great show, full venue. Great vibe. Can't wait to see Cage again

Being rather, shall we say OLDER than the crowd base for these bands, we weren't surprised to see the "youngun's" lined up for the GA section outside the FOX Theatre! Treated ourselves to Telegraph Room passes even though we had great seats in the upstairs balcony loge section. Cage The Elephant played what I assume is their norm slightly FRENETIC set list, very talented musicians and fun to watch...the lead singer seemed to channel Mick Jagger:)! We were there basically for Foals, but it was a great experience to hear what this young band had to offer. They get alot of play on OUR FAVORITE RADIO STATION, KRML on the Monterey Peninsula!!! Foals were mesmerizing and played a fantastic set and a few encore songs! I was personally a BIT disappointed that they didn't play until the curfew time of 11:30pm, they cut it about 20 minutes short of that, but otherwise a fantastic show, SO good we are scoping out the rest of Foals tour schedule to see if we can catch another show on this tour!

Cage the Elephant put on a great show. Lot's of energy and the music was awesome. Lots of crowd surfing antics with a show ending handstand in the crowd! Pretty amazing. I left in the middle of Foals. Not so great...

fantastic show by both the foals and cage the elephant! would see both again~

This is my second time seeing Foals, and let me tell you.. it was unforgettable! I am having major withdrawals since the concert. The lights, and sound were perfect! They really know how to throw the perfect rock concert. Mosh Pits, stage dives, getting the crowd pumped up and crazy. It was definitely a night I'm never going to forget. Very beautiful night.

They sounded great and had the whole crowd dancing to "My Number". Top flight musicianship! Cage the elephant was solid as well.

First time I've been impressed with the sound at the Fox\u2014past show's sound quality there has been lackluster to say the least. Foals made the room sound great, and they were in top form as always. Only complaint is I wish they'd play less Holy Fire. First 3 songs are great, but the rest is meh. More Total Life Forever, please. They didn't play Miami :( Still can't go wrong seeing Foals live. This was my 5th time and I'll do it again. However, looking forward to less holy fire.

One of the best shows ive ever been too, no joke. Matt Shultz knows how to put on a show, especially the end, jumping off into the crowd from a 15ft? tower. unbelievable.

Cage the Elephant has always been one of my favourite bands. I have always wanted to see them. I walked into the concert have absolutely no idea who foals was. Cage the Elephant played first, making it one of my all time favourite concerts. And honestly, I just really disliked foals. They did not come into par with Cage the Elephant and they just weren't as good of performers. Cage the Elephant was phenomenal, but I can't say the same about foals.

The title says it all. Each band J Roddy & The Business, Foals, and Cage the Elephant were all phenomenal. The crowd was electric. The music was mind-blowing. The only critique I have is that J Roddy's setlist, limited to 30 minutes, was too short. But really, the whole concert was too short. One of the best shows I've been to in years.

This was a co-headlining show. Cage the Elephant (who none of my friends had ever heard of) were the headliners on Tuesday and Foals were supposed to headline on Wednesday. That's how it was listed on the website and communicated to my friends who went to the show on Tuesday. Except that didn't happen. As a result we missed Foals entire set and didn't even go into the building. Terminal 5 is already my least favorite venue in NYC and this was just another strike against them. Highly unlikely I go to another show at T5.

This show was amazing! Best show I've ever been to! So much energy and such fantastic performers.

I showed up at 7:00 pm when the doors opened, which was a mistake as the first act didn't take the stage until 8:00 pm in this modest, open-plan venue. The band line-up was eclectic to say the least. The openers, J Roddy Walston and the Business, were an old-style rock and roll band whose music would not have been out of place in any of the preceding five decades. Their set, whilst lacking originality, was executed with panache and mercifully over in around thirty minutes. I was concerned I would be stuck there until midnight, but, as luck would have it, Foals, the band I came to see, started their set at 9:00 pm and what a performance it was! They played a couple of songs from each of their earlier albums but the night belonged overwhelmingly to their most recent, ground-breaking work Holy Fire . Probably the best release of 2013, this album somewhat defies categorization as it transcends the Math-Rock of their earlier work. They concluded with a seminal performance of their magnum opus, Inhaler . I was a bit surprised that Cage the Elephant were the headliners, as I'd never heard of them prior to buying the ticket. Judging by the crowd reaction to their emergence at around 10:45 pm, they had a lot of local support from this predominantly student crowd. They come across as bordering on Art-Rock, not a genre that particularly appeals to me, and after around five songs, I bade my farewell and left. I expect the next time I want to see Foals, the tickets will probably be astronomically expensive for this nascent stadium act.

awesome show! best live band ever. so glad we bought the tickets!

They were incredibly interactive with the crowd and their sound was phonomenal. I definitely would like to see both bands again

So so good. I've seen Foals twice and they're one of the best bands I've ever seen live

After seeing them last summer at lollapalooza, needed to see them again. They absolutely killed it at Terminal 5. The highlight being either the slow version of Blue Blood, Providence, or Closing with Inhaler when the crowd went absolutely nuts. Can not wait to see this band again.

Foals was amazing. Light show was incredible. Music was amazing. Great crowd. Cage the elephant was similarly high energy and so much fun.

I've been to this venue a few times before and it's always a great experience. I was a bit annoyed that Foals showed up before Cage the Elephant (The tickets said Foals was headlining), but I was there the whole time so it didn't affect me. J Roddy was chill, and Foals and Cage the Elephant both had the crowd going crazy.

Seeing J Roddy and the Biz was amazing as a warm up, although sitting through Foals was painful; it was worth the wait for Cage, who I have seen 6 times in the last 3 years, they just get better every time, a true live band, they killed it!

All three bands were great, in totally different ways. J Roddy is a hoot; Foals is super cool and professional with a wide range of styles; Cage is popular and energetic. Best band was Foals.

This was the second time seeing them live and they never fail to disappoint me when I see them perform!

Solid show with a good price $37.50. Great energy from all three bands - J Rotton Waston and the Business, Foals and Cage The Elephant!

I've wanted to see Cage the Elephant since I watched them live on a Lollapalooza feed a few years back. They were raw and edgy and I loved every second of the broadcast. I missed them at the Governor's Ball last summer and when they were announced at Terminal 5, I jumped on the chance to see them. I was not disappointed in their showmanship, style, and ability to get the audience pumped up. J. Roddy and the Business were a great opener. Personally, if this show had longer J. Roddy and CtE sets, I would have given this 5 stars but my problem is that Foals interrupted my flow and enjoyment of the show. People actually like Foals? I just don't understand why. Nor do I understand why they were on this bill. Anyway, thanks for show, I'll just pretend they didn't perform.

Matt Shultz dove into the crowd off of a balcony. Need I say more?

Once again the Foals blew me away. I've seen them live 3times and once again the show was profound in so many ways. The energy and stamina displayed by the band was unreal. All I could ask for was a double set!!! Foals, Foals, Foals!!!
