About the Artist

Kasabian, a name synonymous with stadium-filling anthems and unadulterated energy, have carved a unique path in the British music scene. Since their formation in Leicester in 1997, the band has consistently delivered a potent blend of indie rock, electronic beats, and psychedelic influences. Their self-titled debut album in 2004 immediately announced their arrival, but it was subsequent releases like 'Empire' (2006), 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' (2009), and the chart-topping 'Velociraptor!' (2011) that cemented their status as national treasures. Hits like 'Fire', 'Club Foot', 'LSF (Lost Souls Forever)', and 'Underdog' have become ingrained in the collective consciousness, soundtracking countless festivals and unforgettable nights out. Their live shows are renowned for their raw power, infectious stage presence, and the sheer joy they bring to their devoted fanbase. Expect a setlist packed with fan favourites and possibly some new material, all delivered with the trademark Kasabian swagger.
