Kasabian

[AM91]

UK tour announced today, if they're still struggling for a 3rd headliner then surely they will at least consider them

Just realised it was only two warm up shows they announced today for the Teenage Cancer Trust gig.. but still a possibility

A new low

[AM91]

Whether people love them or hate them, the fact that they're touring must make them a possibility

[sisco]

Where are they touring? Dates?

edited original post... it was 2 Teenage Cancer Trust warm up gigs that they announced today. But, shows they're active and playing live this year

[mrtourette]

Well the TCT show already meant they were active, the warm-up shows don't add anything to that. But yeah they'll be a viable fall-back option if they're strugling for names.

I agree, Kasabian are great live and I remember them saying that they want to do Glasto.

If they need someone then I am sure Kasabian would say yes

I'd rather see Kasabian headline than the Arctic Monkeys

[Vanderlyle]

We already had a massive Kasabian v Arctics session on the headliners thread. Let's not do that again.

I have no doubt, however, that Kasabian could do a decent job. Quite fun live, decent back catalogue, like the festival. But it won't look like a killer headliner to the general pubilc, and the musos will be livid (just watch some of the reaction their name will get on this thread).

They're not going to do it if Arctics do as well. However, a Kasabian Mumford pyramid would make that look strong. Awful but strong.

[Role Model]

Festival whores, no thanks.

[mrtourette]

They aren't old enough to be considered legitimate headliners.

They looked alright at reading and Leeds

[willutalk]

Would they have to headline?? Sub The Stones would be a pretty hard set to execute well. Kasabian would do it well.

Kasabian need to take a step back from all the festivals they play, wait till we start missing them, then headline in style.

Great band and great live, but they play festivals way too much, so people get to used to their constant availability.

oh c'mon ... they're far less festival whores than plenty of other acts their size.

Funny innit? I'm generally pretty tolerant, but there's something about kasabian that really gets my goat. I don't know what it is, there's plenty of bands, I'm sure, with worse music, with worse stage presence, with worse everything, but there some combination in Kasabian that really winds me up.

anyone will get criticised... if Hendrix came out of 'retirement' there'd be people complaining that he's past it
