Wow surprised about that. I take it that it was all dealt with and sorted in the end 

Saw Kasabian the other night at the O2 and its the best they have been with Serge as front man. They have clearly gone up a notch from the first few years of New Kasabian. I can't lie every gig I saw with Tom was miles better but they seem to have found a new swagger and interestingly a new following of very young fans.   There were loads of families at the O2 with kids/teenagers decked out in Sergio Tacchini track suit tops loving it as much as their parents, plus lots of groups of young lads. I think they have had a bit of a second wind and new fans who may not remember seeing Tom and comparing as older fans do. So, I feel they have found a new following and will be around for a long time and regulars at these size festivals.

Kasabian headlined 2 festivals ago.  They’re not going to co-headline.

To be honest if they pull in The Prodigy, Pulp and just for example Florence there probably got for me anyway the best set of 3 anywhere this year in the UK. What they do well is book a lot of the other generation stuff that won't sell at you're Readings etc and Glastonbury will only get certain sets infrequently.      I don't think TLDP are going anywhere but main stage.  Bloc Party against Pulp would be awful for me but I'd accept them vs Flo   Kasabian also played in 23 so they won't be there again yet and they don't need to co-headline.

Got 5 Sunday tickets - I expect these sales are so small they can’t justify paying for Queue-IT. Feeling more optimistic about the future as long as this old system stays!
