Kasabian

[hughesie]

while many may call springsteen unmissable. i would argue that a kasabian fan would probably really enjoy animal collective on the park stage. they are probably the one act i am looking forward to more than kasabian and i highly recommend them. however, if you're in a more dancey mood then i don;t think you could go wrong with 2mandj's at the dance village.

A boss gig? Bring it on! Kasabian hope to seduce Bruce Springsteen's fans at Glastonbury

For swashbuckling Leicester rockers Kasabian, the call came out of the blue, and the offer was one that they simply could not refuse. The group were already gearing themselves up for a busy summer, with a new album, their own headline tour plus a series of stadium shows with Oasis and the Enemy.

But the chance to shine as the main support act for Bruce Springsteen's hotly anticipated appearance on the main stage at Glastonbury was impossible to resist. 'It gives us an unbelievable opportunity,' says Tom Meighan, the band's hyperactive frontman. 'We weren't going to do any outdoor festivals this year, but playing Glastonbury with Springsteen is something different and we're going to revel in it. We've got a new audience to hit there. I don't want to sound silly, but it is going to be a spiritual moment. The energy in the place is going to be electrifying.'

'I'm excited, too,' adds guitarist Serge Pizzorno. 'At Glastonbury, you need to get to your place early, so there are going to be a lot of people standing in that field waiting for The Boss. They'll find themselves watching this strange little band from Leicester. And they'll be saying "Who are these cool cats? They are really good!" That's the reaction we're going for.'

Some bands might be daunted by the prospect of playing second fiddle at one of the rock happenings of the summer, but Kasabian are no shrinking violets. A supremely confident quartet, they have a swagger that sets them apart from their peers. Over-the-top bragging is second nature to them. And they love a challenge.
