Just to give you a horse lesson, a foal is a horse that is under one year old. When a horse has its first birthday, it is then a yearling. With that out of the way, Foals are an Oxford band that seems popular with the NME youth.…

BLONDFIRE

The band just released their Warner Bros. Records' Where The Kids Are late last year, so they played a few songs off the EP, including "Waves" (which had singer Erica Driscoll put on a guitar to play the song) and the title track "Where The Kids Are" (which they closed out their brief set).
The most interesting song on their set was a cover of Fleetwood Mac's most well-known song, "Dreams". The song seemed lost on the mostly younger audience.
SURFER BLOOD

Since I've never seen the Floridian band before, I can only guess that they're taking a page from Foals and doing their best 'rock' thing: singer John Paul Pitts does that audience invasion-thing while guitarist Thomas Fekete is playing guitars with his mouth!
They ended their set with "Weird Shapes", which is the lead single from their forthcoming Pythons album.
As for Foals, please refer to the setlist for the songs played. The band kept their high energy throughout the set with singer Yannis Philippakis going into the crowd (several times!) and standing on top of speakers.
Encores included "Moon", "Inhaler", and "Two Steps, Twice". Two of which were taken from their new album Holy Fire , while ending with a fan-favorite "Two Steps, Twice" from their debut album Antidotes
