Foals at Reading and Leeds Festival: dates, stage, start time, how long is his set - potential setlist?

Foals are making a triumphant return to Reading and Leeds Festival this year.

The indie rockers will be back to headline the festival, seven years after previously topping the bill alongside Disclosure. Best known for tracks such as My Number, the group have been on the road across the US in support of Paramore this summer.

Foals are returning to the band's native shore of the UK to headline Reading and Leeds Festival - joining Sam Fender who co-headlines on the same nights.

But what time and when are they due to perform? Here's all you need to know:

How long is a Foals concert?

Foals have been on the road supporting Paramore during their recent US tour this summer. The band played a slightly shorter set of around 45/ 50 minutes per night.

During headline shows, Foals often play sets of around 90 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes. But performances at festivals are slightly more constrained and can be shorter than a solo concert.

Foals are due to perform for around 90 minutes at Reading and Leeds Festival this weekend. This is according to the set times published on the festival's official apps.

What could the setlist be?

Foals recently appeared at Pukkelpop 2023 in Belgium and played a set lasting around an hour (60 minutes) and it gives fans a clue of what to potential expect from the band's appearance at Reading and Leeds Festival.

According to Setlisft.fm users they played the following 12 songs at the Belgian music festival:

• Wake Me Up
• Mountain at My Gates
• Olympic Airways
• 2001
• (summer sky)
• My Number
• In Degrees
• Spanish Sahara
• Inhaler
• Black Bull
• What Went Down
• Two Steps, Twice

However Foals could significantly shake-up the above setlist for their headline performance at Reading and Leeds Festival. Which songs would you like to see?
