Kasabian Sunday headliners.

[russycarps]

Russy mellows in old age!! Either that or lures them into a false sense of security before verbally assaulting them for the rest of their days.

Its official, the new Kasabian album contains the worst song lyric of all time...

Personally ive not seen kasabian live before and im quite looking forward to it, im not their greatest fan but i like to keep an open mind and give all bands a chance to impress me. It's not the best headline act glastonbury could have had but there will always be an alternative which is so great about glastonbury. 2 or 3 bad headline acts will not ruin my week, far from it

[swede]

Arcade Fire would have been a cheap booking, as are Kasabian who have been begging to headline for years. Therefore Im building myself up to think Saturdays headliner is what they are splashing the cash on, fingers crossed for Prince.

I'll be at Kasabian, my wife has never seen them but wants to, I like some of their stuff and always enjoy spending a Sunday night at the back of the pyramid field taking in the crowd for one last time.

I thought that they had a flat rate for all bands which is why the likes of U2 and the stones never played until they could see the pr benefit

[mrtourette]

Yeah, and that flat rate is well below what they would get at other festivals.

Id much prefer to have the biggest act on a Saturday, Friday i want to wander more, show new friends the area's, Sunday im normally suffering from a massive hangover, while still strying to get drunk, tea time I start to come off the alcohol ready for the early morning set off home, wish i could relax monday, but it means, using maybe another holiday for tues, and also maybe getting stuck in traffic. Anyway so I guess sat is the best day for me visiting the Pyramid, and been happily drunk, Do you think with the 2 act already confirmed, do you think the last act will be something totally different, e.g, like Jay Z, Beyonce was?

Saw em at Glasto 2007?... was too fucked up to give an opinion but looked good on TV when I got back home

Saw em at T in The Park 2007 - Awesome

Saw em at Glasto 2009... Really disappointed, was pretty far back and really looking forward to it but the sound was awful and they were prettt poor imo

Saw em at Leeds Fest 2012 - Awesome.... really good set, and a great end to a festival.

Kasabian are big enough to headline, they have enough good BIG songs to pull it off.

Do we need more than than one thread about Kasabian?

Obviously lots of love for just one band. They must be popular.

[Purple aki squat]

Just because they are down as tbc it doesn't mean they are headlining.

Honestly can't see the festival closing with them.

Have I missed something?

[Purple aki squat]

efests wouldn't put them down as a TBC if they weren't 100% on it. they're definitely headlining the Sunday

[Nickyboy]

They're certainly bigger than last years Pyramid closers, although on a par in terms of the 'so-what' factor.

To be fair I enjoyed the Mumfords last year, and if theres nothing else on that me and the boys want to see (we always try and do the Sunday together), then I'm sure Kasabian will suffice. Like many have said, one or two big tunes to get people singing along to......

[mrtourette]

Bollocks.

I was living in hope that they were subbing the Roses.

Plenty of other things to check out instead.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Oh God can you imagine the uproar and horror at the potential piss-throwing and fear of young males in hats if Kasabian and the Roses were playing on the same night. AND POTENTIALLY WITH FOOTBALL ON THE SAME DAY. Shut the site down.

Erm, the football, should England reach the 2nd stage (which looks pretty unlikely), will be at 9pm at night. If anyone's crowd's going to be reduced by people going off to watch the game, it's Kasabian's. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed the goals between songs to try and keep people watching them.

In fact, their guitarist is a bit of a footballer isn't he, perhaps the band could have a goal on stage and do re-enactments of any interesting moments from the game? It'd make an interesting break from the tedium of their music.

Erm that wasn't entirely serious.

[formed a band]

Fair enough... One can only digest so much kasabian stuff.

Does make them sound a bit pathetic though

[mrtourette]

Erm, doesn't the fact that the football's on at the same time as Kasabian undermine the basis for your 'joke' post?

Kasabian and Arcade Fire were definitely not expensive bookings (in comparison to last years)

Maybe Prince was expensive? BOWIE? I hope theyve saved the cash for a big one!

I'll bet that Kasabain and Arcade Fire cost pretty much the same as Arctic Monkeys and Mumford.
