News just in – As massive personal fans of Foals, and often found at the front of their live shows, Bloc Party have gone a step further and invited the band to support them on four of their biggest tour dates yet in December this year.

Foals will play two nights at London's Alexandra Palace, plus Glasgow SECC and Manchester GMEX:

Dec 12th Glasgow SECC
Dec 13th Manchester GMEX
Dec 14th London Alexandra Palace
Dec 15th London Alexandra Palace

In possibly the most exciting and forward-thinking collaboration this year, Foals who are increasingly known for their explosive mix of techno on guitars and riotous house party shows up and down the country, are set to record their debut album with Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio ( Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars) this month. Foals fly out to NYC on June 22nd where they will begin recording

In other Foals news, the band have just completed a stint in a London studio with Kieran Hebden (Four Tet). Kieran has produced three unique compositions by the band set for release later this year and beyond, via very special vinyl 12"s... more to follow on this.

Foals second single 'Mathletics' is a limited 7" and download only release, and will be released via Transgressive records this July.
