After appearing at festivals in Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds and Hyde Park the indie dance band will play their final UK event of the summer in Jersey before heading off to America to support Oasis on tour.
The four-piece Leicester band have built up a cult following since the release of their debut single, Club Foot, in March of 2004.
Their debut album, also called Kasabian, has sold over 500,000 copies to date and was described by NME as ‘the album that will change your life’.
Lead singer Tom Meighan told the JEP he was looking forward to playing in the Island.
‘We were supposed to come to Jersey last year but it fell through so we’re glad we’ve got it sorted this time around,’ he said.
‘People have been making good noises about this festival.
We’ve spoken to Razorlight and they said it was their favourite event last year.
‘We’ve got a busy summer and it’ll be a cool way to finish off after playing at Glasto, Reading, Leeds and Hyde Park.
‘We’re gonna really go for this one because it’s our last event in the UK before we head off to America to support Oasis on tour.’ Lead guitarist and song writer Serge Pizzorno said: ‘We’ll blow a hole in rock’n’roll! We’re the saviours of a nation’s music, so look out Jersey here we come!’ For Jersey Live to be featuring such a prestigious band is a mark of the festival’s ever-growing reputation.
Organiser Warren Le Sueur of Positiv Productions believes this is a sign of things to come.
