In a highly anticipated announcement, Kasabian has confirmed their performance slot at Glastonbury 2024, following months of speculation. Fans had previously speculated about a surprise performance by the band at the Woodsies Stage, with a 6pm slot listed as ‘TBA’. Yesterday, Kasabian confirmed that they are the TBA act set for 6pm at the Woodsies Stage, sharing a picture of the onsite notice, along with a timelapse clip of the band on the way to the festival in a private car.
Twitter/X account @secretglasto had shared earlier that the slot had indeed been filled by Kasabian, referencing the band’s 2004 hit ‘L.S.F.’. “Anyone lonely and stuck for something to do at 1800?” the account tweeted. “Head to Woodsies and you won’t be LOST SOULS FOREVER”. Last December, Kasabian had spoken about the possibility of returning to Glastonbury this year, which marks ten years since the band headlined the Pyramid Stage. Speaking about plans to perform at the festival, Chief Songwriter, Serge Pizzorno said: “There isn’t any kind of [plan], now there’s none. Now there’s like: great record, and then go and play.”
This will mark Kasabian’s first Glastonbury performance since the departure of frontman Tom Meighan in 2020. The band’s vocal duties are now handled by keyboardist Tim Carter. The announcement comes ahead of the release of their eighth studio album, ‘Happenings,’ due to be released on July 5.
Fans of the band can now look forward to seeing them take to the stage for an explosive performance at Glastonbury 2024. The announcement has left fans excited for what promises to be an incredible performance. Those attending the festival can look forward to enjoying a mix of new tracks from the band’s latest album, as well as classic tracks that have made Kasabian one of the most popular and beloved bands in the world. We’ll have to wait until 2024 to hear the magic that the band has in store for festival-goers
