BBC 6 Music Festival. DAY THREE. Bristol. 12th - 14th February 2016.

The third and final day of proceedings at the 6 Music Festival was a bittersweet affair. I felt an element of sadness as the train pulled away from Temple Meads to Paddington on the Monday lunchtime.

The night before, there was much hooting and howling from all involved. The venue heaving to the rafters to see Foals in the main room at Motion.

Beforehand, we were treated to three different performers, showcasing a variety of talent on display. Frank Turner, ever the energetic crowd pleaser, had everyone's arms in the air. Polica rocked everyone's socks and ears off with ginormous bass lines. Everything Everything had everyone bouncing up and down to their unique razzmatazz.

Headliners Foals then launched into their set like a plane taking off. It was a thrilling adventure. Along with more recent numbers, older tracks like Olympic Airways and Two Steps Twice were utterly joyful to hear. 

Motion is possibly one of the smallest venues that Foals will play to this year. Yannis Philippakis and the gang pumped out so much energy, and the crowd went nuts. Exuberance onstage, reflected by chaos offstage. A dramatic, fitting end to a superb weekend.
