Selling out Alexandra Palace in just nine minutes flat, Foals last week found themselves nominated in the three biggest categories at 2013’s Q awards, nominated for Best Live Act, Best Album ( Holy Fire) and Best Act In The World Today. Not bad eh! To add to that Holy Fire has been nominated for the prestigious 2013 Barclaycard Mercury Prize ‘Album of the Year’, their second nomination for this particular award following their 2010 album Total Life Forever.
Foals also announce the release of new single Out of the Woods out October 28th and on the same day the band will also release their first ever DVD titled ‘Foals: Live at The Royal Albert Hall’ which was recorded at London’s historic venue on March 28th this year. The show, preceded by an also sold out matinee performance, sold out in less than 15 minutes, and stands as a career-defining moment for the band.
