Foals’ EartH show: ferocious and up-close, the band’s searing London return, in pictures

Thursday night saw Foals cram gigantic anthems into a titchy Dalston venue, on the eve of their new album's release. From fearsome cuts from 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1' to Yannis clambering across the bar, photographer Andy Hughes was there to capture it all.
