The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny

Yannis Philippakis - Rock Screams, Hedonism & Headlining

Foals are one of the ultimate festival bands, so frontman Yannis brings all that field experience to play here. Including how music saved his life as a difficult teen, how he’s calmer now and recalls that drunken encounter with The Cure’s Robert Smith which he’s since atoned for. Plus Yannis reflects on the first time ever headlining a festival, and looking forward to that more than ever at Latitude 2022, which is where you will also find The Line-Up appearing live as well!

Who would play at your dream festival? Shaun Keaveny's got a lifetime of festival moments (well, the ones he can remember) to draw on as each episode he guides a music-loving guest to share their 5 favourite acts to see on stage in a field somewhere. From the first band waking up your senses to that emotional sunset slot and the all-important headliner. Other fantasy festival essentials will be covered too, from choice snacks to tent skills (ha! Celebrities pitching their own tents? No chance...) and of course, are we gonna need a fancy toilet?
The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny is brought to you by Sony Music Commercial Group UK and is produced by Natalie Jamieson for Cup &amp; Nuzzle.
