Who: Foals
Date: Feb 10th
Where: 3Arena, Dublin

Foals are one of those bands that just keep getting better and bigger. Darlings of the indie scene for a long time now, they are now almost mainstream such is their success.

They come to the 3Arena for a massive gig this Wednesday and it should be spectacular.

Indie fans are spoiled for choice this Wednesday with Foals playing the 3Arena and indie veterans Suede playing the Olympia. Brett Anderson and the lads have an army of fans and the Olympia should be rocking for this.
