Kasabian...

[Bobs]

I'd say it's more likely to happen in 2014, than 2015.... You don't see many bands who have released an album, skip a summer to headline festivals, wait for the album to potentially wane in popularity, then headline/play do you,

I'm sure most people will be able to tell me some excellent examples, but you know what? I can't seem to think of any, at the minute.

Meh, I've seen them twice before, both times being given spare tickets from friends. They're a decent enough live act, but I wouldn't rush to see them unless there was nothing else of my fancying on.

One thing I would say is that for me on a personal note, Arcade Fire/Kasabian headers would be pretty disappointing as have no interest in either. If it is those two, lets hope header number three is a real biggy!

[Zoo Music Girl]

i just can't see many people, at all, screaming 'YES KASABIAN ARE HEADLINING THANK GOD I GOT A TICKET'

[FloorFiller]

He never said three of the biggest headlining just booked. Think dolly is, to quote James, one of the three.

[innerspeaker]

Are Kasabian really big enough to headline Glastonbury? I'd be very surprised if that were to happen..

[FloorFiller]

Fair point but it could also just be one of his 'misjudgments' and he's counting someone like pixies or pearl jam headlining other as one of the biggest. You know what he's like. He said in 2007 a band who hadn't played together in over twenty years in reference to the who.

[Zoo Music Girl]

yeah to be honest, what with Fleetwood Mac and Depeche Mode both seeming to be nailed on and then swept away just as fast i wouldn't be surprised if Eavis' earlier comments are now meaningless. i'm just holding on to any hope that they won't be headlining although if they do headline and say, The Pixies are opposite them on Other, then that'll suit me down to the ground!

[LondonTom]

Exactly. You need one crappy headliner to avoid the Pixies clash - may as well be Kasabian! Get it out of the way I say.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Dolly can be the headliner against Pixies!

If rumours are to be believed they're gonna announce a show up north if sales go well for Leicester, so can't see it!

I know Kasabian are pretty huge, and they've headlined other festivals, but I genuinely think they'll play second from top under somebody HUGE. People saying they're in the same mould as Monkeys, I can see why you'd say it, but you can still buy tickets in bulk for their homecoming summer gig, their appeal isn't what it was. With Monkeys' two gigs at Finsbury Park, one sold out in less than 15 minutes and the other sold out before the day was over.

I think I've seen kasabian about five times without ever buying a ticket to a kasabian gig. They've been everywhere and anywhere for the past four years and anyone who is into festivals a lot would have struggled to avoid them. They are good live and I'm not a fan really but as a headliner they would do nothing for me.
