Foals played the Other Stage at Glastonbury this evening (27th July), and attracted such a sizeable audience the band were taken aback.
�Wow, there�s so many of you,� said frontman Yannis Philippakis, �From up here it looks mythical.� As they played a raucous version of �Cassius� their intricate math-rock music suddenly seemed anthemic, and the crowd bounced accordingly.
Rain briefly lashed down and Yannis declared, �We haven�t brought any wellies. Bad move.� Not that the crowd minded as �Hummer� and �Red Socks Pugie� helped shrug the rain off.
Leaving to one of the best receptions of the day, Yannis felt moved to say, �You�ve made this very special for us. Thank you.�
