Foals have been hiding free cassette tapes of their new album, What Went Down, across Europe before it's released on Friday (28 August.)
Spearheading their own global treasure hunt, the band have been hiding cassette tapes of their new album at various locations, and sharing the coordinates via Twitter.
The band have also asked fans to share photos once they find the tape, as well as urging the lucky individuals not to leak the contents of the cassettes to the internet.
So far, packages have been hidden across Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Oslo, Berlin and Hamburg.
