Kasabian- Gap in uk tour

[woolley]

just announced a tour and there is a gap at the glasto weekend

what do we reckon?

[Redcanadahat]

well spotted.

perhaps they just want to go as festival go-ers though and that's why the gap was made?

..would be awesome if they played th ough.

[Tugger2k]

would love it to happen, but cant see it myself.

and they would have to headline the other stage, as i cant really see them playing 2nd fiddle to anyone (even as good as the pyramid headliners are) as for my money, they are 1 of the top 3 live acts in the country - as they proved again on friday night

[woolley]

would be awesome but will be investing in a ticket to the swindon gig i think

[dannypal]

would love them to play, but either way im going to get tickets (well try) for leicester

[Marathon_Man]

Would LOVE them to play - but gunning for a London ticket just in case they don't. Not missing them AND Maximo Park this year!

[Warren]

Yeah they were amzing in 2007, I'll defo be there in wolverhampton!

[Chickenburger]

where have they announced a tour?

[Petewasbristol]

No Bristol Academy date, which is interesting, along with the gap in the glasto weekend.

Last time they played and they had a gap in their tour they announced Bristol academy at the last minute to warm up for glasto.

Interesting, maybe im just pinning too much on hope

As a few of us posted yesterday, Tom Meighan said on 6 Music News that they'd been booked to play a "major UK festival" this summer. I doubt The Great Escape counts, and they're not confirmed for any other line-ups (most of which have their quota of big bands confirmed already). I'd imagine they're pretty much a cert for Glasto. So I reckon them and Bloc Party will share between them a 2nd top Pyramid slot and an Other stage headline slot. But which for which?

Before last years festival they had a pop at glasto, cant remember what was being said, but it wasnt very flattering, kind of burnt a few bridges, so unless they have been mended, i really cant see it

its got details on gigwise as well now.

Three nights on the bounce in Leicester, result. Anyone wanna buy on oasis wembley stadium ticket? I dont need it anymore

[Un Adepte Des Raconteurs]

I thought they had already said that they are stayin away for the festival scene this year

[Matt 100]

I can only tell you what I heard, and only yesterday they said they were playing a major uk fest. It's probably on iPlayer from during Lamacq's show. Bands come out with that kind of bollocks all the time anyway, money and publicity always talk. Bloc party told reading and leeds they wouldnt see them for a while during last years performance!

The gap in the schedule is very telling I think.

Well it won't be V festival, or Reading, or T in the Park, or Isle of Wight, or Download, and I think they would have headlined had it been Latitude. Doubt he'd call Great Escape a major UK festival (because 1. its not major and 2. they are already confirmed so there would be no need to keep the name of the festival secret) so....

Unless he was lying, they are playing Glastonbury.

Since Bloc Party and Kanye West are supposed to be on the Other Stage, and I can't see Bloc Party settling for 2nd on the Other, I'm guessing maybe Kasabian are playing the same slot as in 2007?

[Matt 100]

Iam hopin it is glasto, has all the other major fests not already announced the majority of there lineups

[Curtains1]

Would love to see em again, quality band.
