Kasabian To Play!!!

[deegs]

Anyway I am gonna nail it now

Friday - The Killers

Saturday - Kasabian

Sunday - Kylie and Scissor Sisters

[modey]

I heard they want to play Wembley stadium though? hahahah

[Petewasbristol]

I cant see Kasabian Headline the main stage, but they will either play high up on it or headline the other stage.

Going to see them at Earls court next week for there biggest ever gig so will be interesting to see how they cope.

[timespeedsup]

sort of...Pete Townshend has already said that he would like The Who to finish their tour (that they're doing now) at Glastonbury..... here's hoping

[ministe2003]

Cannot understand the attraction of The Who, a bunch of crocks and a big nosed pedio, seen them at T last year and they where ordinary to say the least, its the one thing that pisses me of about the Glasto lineup every year we seem to have some old washed up rockers that everybody creams themselves at, and they turn up and bore the pants of everybody.

To quote an old dead rocker "you glorify the past and the future dries up"

[deegs]

Whoever headlines it doesnt really matter too much, cause you can always watch someone else :-D

[luckysalt]

I saw Kasabian at Birmingham NEC tonight and they said at the end of the show, see you Glastonbury, so looks like theyre definatly playing

They wouldnt be saying it at all these dates for no reason

They were absolute class act btw

w*nker...

[ivan]

Well, Eavis said theres an american super group playing, cant see them on that lineup there.

And Kasabian wont headline I doubt.

[LetsGoToMars]

I'd love to see Kasabian play, I rekon they would headline the Other stage. Hopefully when Kylie plays, otherwise there may be a clash!

[john28uk]

and you're not?

all charges against him were dropped... you calling him a peado (with a big nose.. how old are you?) is what makes you one...

[padders]

Lets look at the facts, he got caught looking at kiddie porn, there is no excuse for this no bullshit "it was research" he got caught, he is a nonse FACT

[luckysalt]

Have you seen Kasabian live?

they're pretty damn good, I dont ever listen to their CD's but they were shit hot live, and they came across really down to earth as well, Tom couldnt thank us enough, and I thought he was an arrogant prick, seems not...

[brettredmayne]

I don't think they will but I think they could pull of a headline slot, they've got the tunes!

Didnt they headline 2nd stage in 05 one night?

I think they'll be a band or two below the headliners on the pyramid.

I reckon headliners might be

Killers

Possibly A Reformed Blur????

The Who

[john28uk]

kasabian have not got an original idea to call their own - a bad happy mondays copy band ( and the mondays were unoriginal to begin with ) - the fact that them and razorlight are 2 of our top current UK bands just shows how f**ked the music scene is at the moment .

[kaanypooch]

did they say what time and which stage?

just so i can plan to be somewhere else

[Neil]

hmmmm ... the police/CPS chose to make no prosecution, it's not the same as 'innocent'.

It's certainly the case that Townsend only claimed to be doing research AFTER he knew he was being investigated, and that Townsend made false statements about the order that the events occurred. Without detailed knowledge of every detail, the lies made by Townsend certainly raise my suspicions.

[timespeedsup]

Was thinking along Neil's lines before Tony's post, especially working in an industry where people can avoid being prosecuted for something they very likely did do due to lack of sufficient evidence or a balls-up with the investigation.

However, on balance I'm prepared to believe the guy's innocence given Tony's post.

so if the guy is innocent why was he put on the sex offenders register for 5 years?

Have you seen Kasabian live?

[Neil]

That is NOT the case. He did tell someone before he was investigated, but he was advised not to say anything. As far as I remember - I can't find the exact details, but I was following the story closely, being a big fan of his - it was later proven that his version of the story was true, that got mixed up with other details that hadn't been relayed.

You'd be jumpig down someone's throat for getting things like this wrong Neil.

What I don't understand, is why do people 'want' him to be a paedophile?

Townsend claimed to have contacted some child abuse agency/charity before he knew he was bei9ng investigated. This was false, and it was proved by that agency/charity that he only contacted them after he knew he was being investigated. Townsend used this false fact to lessen the fingers of guilt being pointed his way. This is NOT wrong - this is proved beyond all doubt.

What is not proved beyond all doubt is why Townsend was paying to look at child pornography. From the very link you posted, he says something about child porn being everywhere on the net. If this was the case, why did Townsend have to get out his credit card to see some for 'research'?

Who knows what the complete facts are? - not me. But I do know that Townsend told porkies and was found out.

[Neil]

story here

The story you've raised isn't the story I was on about.

Yes, he emailed them before his arrest, but he emailed them AFTER he knew he was being investigated (he knew he was being investigated long before he was arrested). The statements Townsend made when this matter (of him visiting child porn websites) first all became public either stated categorically or implied that he'd been in touch with them before or at around the same time as he looked at those websites: he didn't, he only got in touch with them when he knew he was in the shit.
