The frontman talks to NME about touring plans, new music, predicting the future and life after lockdown “That was a good night!” laughs Foals’ frontman Yannis Philippakis, recalling the band’s boisterous experience at the NME Awards 2020 back in February. “There was a lot going on.
We had practice the next day, I got there late and had to be filled in on all of the various ways I disgraced myself. None of the other shindigs in the year are quite that hedonistic.
The awards weren’t diluted, they came back in all of their debauched horror.” Before the debauchery unfolded, Foals kicked off the night by picking up the Best Live Band Award.
