Kasabian have self-confirmed

Note that they are not "the 4th headliner" - as we'd revealed a few weeks back, there is no 4th headliner.

I'd guess they've ended up in this slot because it was vacant after the planned 4th headliner cancelled, and there were probably limited options of bands that could fill this now vacant slot. As they're the major act for The Great Escape festival - which is run by one of Glastonbury's main bookers - it didn't take a genius to guess that they might well end up in this slot (i'd posted as much previously).

The blurb from their PR says:-

"Kasabian Boss Glastonbury

Leicester Band Confirmed As Special Guests

To Bruce Springsteen’s Glastonbury Show

Kasabian have finally been confirmed to play this year’s Glastonbury, putting an end to months of speculation.

In what will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the year, Kasabian were made an offer they simply could not refuse - playing as special guests to Bruce Springsteen’s Saturday night (June 27th) show on the main stage at Glastonbury.

The Glastonbury show sits in between Kasabian’s 20-date UK tour and those massive stadium shows with Oasis, in what is set to be an epic summer.

Their eagerly awaited new album ‘West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’ is released June 8th. Preceding this is their blazing new single ‘Fire’ (June 1st), which was premiered on Radio One by Zane Lowe when he covered for Chris Moyles’ Bank Holiday Monday breakfast show. Kasabian also play Radio One’s Big Weekend, May 9th."

I reckon the Pyramid is going to be a bit packed on Saturday night!

WHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This news has made me very happy indeed

[Matt 100]

edit

unless your being serious

[eFestivals]

Still looks like a 4th headliner to me !!!

compared to who they had lined up as the real 4th headliner, they're a tiny band.

And note that they're not calling their slot "the 4th headliner" slot, but "special guests".

As eFestivals told you several weeks ago, there is no 4th headliner.
