Kasabian say they are headlining the second stage of this year's V Festival.

Tom Meighan told Teletext's Planet Sound, "We're headlining V Festival, up against Radiohead. I like Radiohead, but I'm well up for taking them on. Every band in Britain is going to be in trouble when we release our next album, it's huge." Meighan said the new album is out in July.
