Foals To Headline Transgressive Records' 15th Anniversary Show At The Great Escape

Foals will headline an intimate Brighton show prior to their UK tour.
Taking over Concorde 2 on May 10, the performance will celebrate 15 years of Transgressive Records, with whom the band have been with for over a decade.
The event will take the form of a Great Escape Spotlight show, with support from Blaenavon and Boniface. Tickets go on sale at 9am on April 3. The Great Escape Festival takes place in Brighton from May 9. Head here for further details.
Toby L, the co-founder of Transgressive commented:
"The Great Escape is easily one of the world's most progressive and exciting showcase platforms and since Transgressive always endeavours to unearth and support brand new artists that offer something to say, it felt entirely apt to kickstart a year of parties, special releases and other birthday related gimmickry in Brighton at an event we've supported since its inception.
"It's fair to say we wanted to do something pretty big to launch our birthday year, and I guess that's how / why we've landed here... Foals have some incredible history with Concorde 2 and it seemed like an absolute dream to reunite them. We'll have some new artists from the roster in support on the night, too, plus some friendly faces behind the decks. And we'll hopefully be well warmed up by then as we are looking forward to staging another event the night before at The Old Market, co-hosted with our friends at Fender... More on that one soon, too."
Having released their fifth album, ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1’, in March, Foals will tour the UK, Europe and North America throughout the summer, and also headline Boardmasters Festival on August 9.
