Kasabian frontman on Reading 2012 tonight. 'It's probably the best rock 'n' roll line-up in Britain, in fact it probably beats Glastonbury'

Jesus, you don't say considering there's no festival this year! :sarcastic: I think Glastonbury's line-up next year as a whole will beat anything hands down, maybe a little bias but ah well.

I saw Kasabian at Brixton on Monday and they absolutely smashed it. i know there not everyones cup of tea but they are one of the best live acts out there at the moment. That night was insane.

That said I hope they don't play next year and wait until they release the next album, feels like they've been touring Velociraptor for a long time now and I want to see a different set!

I have to be honest, having watched Kasabian's set on the telly, I thought they smashed it.

I saw them at glastonbury in 2009 and it was weak by comparison. I can't say whether this was because they don't suit a sunset slot or because the crowd at glastonbury were less enthusiastic (lots of people would have been waiting for Bruce in '09).

As to whether they would be a good headliner at Glastonbury, I think that could only really be judged after the event, based on last night's evidence.

I'm very much of a different opinion, I thought they looked pretty poor last night. I've seen them twice, and they were good both times, but a think a poor new record compared to the other two, and an over reliance on crowd interaction has diminished them a bit. Tom has also turned into a five year old's drawing of Liam Gallagher.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I've seen Kasabian headline festivals twice and smash it both times, even winning over the far more chilled Rockness crowd. As for the Oasis comparison, they've long moved on from just imitating Liam, you listened to their last two records?

As for headliners, I reckon that Eavis will somehow manage to convince the Rolling Stones to play, along with Radiohead. The third slot could be filled by anyone, including Kasabian, but also The Stone Roses and don't rule out Arctic Monkeys.

    • Liddle: "Drop a small nuclear bomb on Glastonbury to immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying.”   Farage: Free speech!    Polanski: accepts a collaboration on 20 innocuous looking set of photos on instagram but doesn't notice that one that says 'making plans for Nigel' with a guillotine image.   Farage: I expect the MET police to arrest him.
    • I take my lad to the local non-league club - Royston Town - not he's 13, he goes there with his mates and he plays in their youth team.  Not many people there - lucky if they hit 800, but lovely supporting the town team.  I've took him to some league clubs too - Cambridge and Stevenage are great to visit and not crazy prices - his first one was Cambridge v Sunderland (I'm a mackem) when they were in league 1, so a great experience for him.  The England matches aren't too bad value either at Wembley - it's just the parking that stings you. Problem is, he's a City fan, so at some point have to bite the bullet and get him up to the Ethiad. Have done the tour, but he'd love a proper game....my wallet, less so!
    • Said it before, but if Annie Lennox is available next year, then it would be an absolute crime to instead book anyone else. She's rare and legendary enough that you drop all other plans.
    • I was having a tired day, my apologies 😂
    • I was there with Oxfam too! I got earlies so it was probably me who registered you on arrival 😀
