BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend - 9th-10th May Lydiard Park Swindon

Line up / Kasabian

Introduction

The tunes, the swagger, the attitude - a Kasabian live performance is a spectacle to behold. This year, the band releases their third album - the intriguingly-titled West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, which singer Tom Meighan describes as "very psychedelic". Expect monster rock grooves on the Saturday's Main Stage.

      Quality performance from Kasabian as usual, just a shame the audience didn't think so! Tom's face says it all really....where was the support!

      Most of their fans were probably watching Doves. I was and don't regret it one bit.

      They were amazing, but where were the crowd? They only reacted to Club Foot! If I went to a Kasabian gig, I'd be jumping up and down non-stop.

      the reason that the crowd didnt seem to support them was because all the people wanting 2 see snow patrol (who were on after kasabian) were hogging all the decent spaces, we were at the back and it was rocking, great set by the way

      I think alot of people were wanting to see Basement Jax (which was over-spilling), especially as alot of people are seeing Kasabian at various other places later in the year. ie, Swindon, or supporting Oasis with the Enemy (who look awesome by the way). Though from the back of the tent they did appear to lack energy and enthusiasm. You can blame crowds but surely they were all buzzing with excitement for Snow Patrol? In June I am now thinking Kasabian should open with the Enemy on just before Oasis... as a support act Kasabian seem to lack that something extra. I just hope they raise there game...

      Dont be ridiculous!! Kasabian are absolutely immense live, I honestly have a feeling they are going to steal the show at Wembley when they support Oasis. The Enemy are a decent band but nothing on Kasabian who are fast becoming the "attitude and swagger" band of the decade.

      I don't know why so many were "buzzing with excitement" for Snow Patrol, they are a popular band but hardly a band you can jump up and down and go crazy to (like Kasabian). Chasing Cars? Give me Clud Foot, Processed Beats or Underdog anyday.
