Foals Book North American with Surfer Blood, Play Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver

BY Alex HudsonPublished Feb 11, 2013

Foals' latest album, Holy Fire, comes out tomorrow (February 12) in North America via Warner Bros. Records, and the UK band have now confirmed plans to promote it with a tour of our continent this spring.

The lengthy leg runs for almost two months from April to June. In addition to a generous selection of U.S. dates, the trek includes three Canadian stops: Montreal on May 10, Toronto the day after that, and Vancouver on May 30.

Foals will be joined on the road by Floridian '90s enthusiasts Surfer Blood, who have an album of their own, Pythons, coming out through Warner (June 11, according to Absolute Punk). Los Angeles sibling duo Blondfire will open.

Prior to the North American jaunt, Foals will play shows in Ireland, the UK, continental Europe and South America. See the schedule below.
