The Saturday night headliners on the main stage at Bestival this year were Foals. Founder Rob Da Bank previously said that he wanted a relatively young band to have a go at headlining the 55,000 capacity event.

The Oxford band have gained a reputation as a great live act in the last 2 years since their last album Holy Fire came out. They won the Q award for Best Live Act of the year and they've played their own headline shows at Alexandra Palace and The Royal Albert Hall, as well as headlining Latitude last year too.

Their Bestival headline set will be their last show for a while and they now plan to go away and write album number four. 6 Music reporter Elizabeth Alker spoke to singer Yannis Philippakis ahead of their show to find out how it feels to have been elevated to headline status and what is in store for their next record.
