After appearing on Later… with Jools Holland and shooting a bewildering new video for ‘Balloons’, Foals look to keep up the momentum by announcing their first live shows of 2008.

The six shows are some of the biggest the act have played thus far, flying solo at least; as they look to Alexandra Palace support slots with Bloc Party in the coming weeks.

The itinerary, after the nine remaining dates scheduled for the rest of the year, runs thus:

March
9 Newcastle Carling Academy 2
11 Manchester Club Academy
12 Birmingham Carling Academy
14 Norwich Waterfront
16 Brighton Concorde 2
17 London Astoria

There’s no word yet on ticket prices for the shows, but they go on sale at 9am this Friday (30 Nov).
