Foals kicked off the month of October with a bang, by teasing a headline UK tour next year.

Now, after their dates went for sale this morning, the Oxfordshire rockers have announced new dates, which includes two extra shows at London Olympia.

See their new dates here:

Thursday 30 April 2020 - Edinburgh Usher Hall

Sunday 3 May 2020 - London Olympia

Monday 4 May 2020 - London Olympia (third and final London date)

Thursday 7 May 2020 - Blackpool Empress Ballroom

The gigs, which will no doubt support their Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2 album, follows the Mercury-nominated Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1.

The Exits band - who consist of frontman Yannis Philippakis, drummer and percussionist Jack Bevan, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Smith and keyboardist Edwin Congreave - had kept very tight-lipped about the dates beforehand only giving the names of five cities they took place in.
