Speaking to the Daily Star, the the band’s frontman Tom Meighan, “Serge and Aitor Throup, who did our album artwork, and a guy called Nick who’s a genius at lighting, came up with it. It’s going to look great. The idea that the stage will react to fans will be cool. It’s never been done.”

The set is reported to be programmed to shine brighter or darker, dependant on the amount of noise generated in the venue.

“I don’t know enough about it yet,” Meighan continued. “It’s been a secret from me. I’m going Thursday to look at the lighting and go ‘Wow’. It’s pretty exciting. We want to get in the stride of playing live again.”

Pistols At Dawn by kasabian

The band are making huge waves in the British rock scene and since the departure of Oasis many regard them as being the biggest indie rock band in the UK at the moment. Their new record Velociraptor will be released on September 19th and sees the band progress into a different, more electronic direction. Earlier this Summer they performed as part of the iTunes Festival in London and by all accounts fans have loved their new sound.

Kasabian also revealed they will be heading out on an extensive tour of the UK this Autumn and tickets for this forthcoming tour will go on sale this Friday (September 2nd).

Kasabian tour dates are available in full online now.

The acclaimed indie rock band will perform ten shows across the country. They recently played a number of shows in small venues, so the arena tour will delight fans hoping for something bigger.

The fact that so many tracks were played from their older albums suggests that these tracks won’t be ignored for Kasabian’s forthcoming European tour.

Kasabian tour dates are available online.

The festival takes place at Clune Farm, on the shores of Loch Ness, and the 2012 edition will begin on Friday June 8th. The weekend event is renowned for its mix of great atmosphere and great music, and next year’s festival is sure to be no different. Rockness 2011 featured headline sets from Kasabian, The Chemical Brothers and Paolo Nutini. No doubt fans who buy tickets for 2012 are in for another stellar line-up.

Kasabian will be touring Europe with their new record this Autumn and it is expected that they will announce further UK dates, although as of yet none have been confirmed.

Kasabian 2011 tickets are available online.

The track, Days Are Forgotten, has an electrifying beat which hints at hip-hop influences but still retains the edgy and guitar driven features which Kasabian are infamous for. The song is the second from their new record Velociraptor which will be released on September 19th, and sees the band progress into a new style which is more acid funk than indie rock.

Kasabian will be showing off their new collection of songs at the ITunes festival tonight.

Kasabian tour dates are available online.

The single comes from their fourth studio album entitled Velociraptor which is set for release on September 19th. The new record seems to follow on from the dark themes which were present in their previous effort, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum.

Kasabian are playing at this year’s I Tunes festival on the 29th July.

Check out Kasabian tour dates and tickets here.

The 29-year-old from Fulham will play to crowds on July 27th at Camden’s Roundhouse. The iTunes Festival lasts for 31 nights and features 62 bands, and is completely free.

Example’s third album, Playing in the Shadows, is to be released in September, before he plays a series of UK shows throughout the autumn. He released his first single from the album, Changed the Way You Kiss Me, on June 5th, which debuted at number 1 in the UK.

Example tickets for his UK autumn dates are available now.

Kate Moss will have her hen-do at the Isle of Wight Festival.

We’ve heard about Jamie’s London stag-do but now we have the real rock’n'roll affair. Renowned for her party antics Kate’s hen-do will no doubt raise her party bar to a new level.

”Kate knows she’s in for a mental one but she’d be upset if she didn’t get that. The hen do has been set out with precision timing but basically the plan consists of getting smashed for two days before a slightly more leisurely Sunday.”

Model and rock’n'roll fan/wanna-be Kate will enjoy headline acts Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters and Kasabian.

Beady Eye Are filming their single video there, perhaps they will catch the hen party on film?!

Isle Of Wight Festival Tickets are on sale now.

The festival will take place this weekend in Newport, from 10th to 12th June, and is headlined by Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters and Kasabian. Other acts set to appear include Kaiser Chiefs, Courteeners, Band Of Horses, We Are Scientists, Pulp, Iggy and the Stooges, Seasick Steve, Beady Eye, The Script and Plan B.

Kasabian’s fourth album ‘Velociraptor’ will be released on September the 19th 2011. There is a cheeky download of ‘Switchblade Smiles’ available if you pre-order the album.

Rock boys Kasabian have gone for a ‘heavier’ sound on their latest album which will be released later this year.

Guitarist Serge Pizzorno is even surprised by their new sound: “It’s heavier than I thought it would be. It squares up to you and doesn’t leave you alone. It’s really in your face.”

There is a real swagger to Kasabian. Much Like Oasis in their rock’n'roll days they ooze confidence and musical volume and we’re pretty sure this album will be no different.

iAccording to Serge “It’s a real jukebox album, just tune after tune, with really strong verses and really strong choruses.”

Kasabian are performing at the Isle Of White Festival. Isle Of White Festival tickets and tour dates are available online.

More than seven hours of Bestival will be broadcast in September with performances from Pendulum, The Cure, Primal Scream and Public Enemy.

Organiser and Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank said: “Bestival in 3D will be a mind-blowing explosion of colour and multidimensional music and mayhem. Having Camp Bestival too… means we’ve got a great summer of TV ahead.”

Two hours of action will be shown in 3D on each day of the festival, which takes place between 8-11 September at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight.

Other acts confirmed for Bestival include Robyn, Crystal Castles, Magnetic Man, Katy B, DJ Shadow and Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys.

An application has been submitted by promoters ‘Solo’ to the Isle of Wight Council under the Isle of Wight Act, the legislation which controls major events on the Island. The organisers are also seeking to increase space for backstage crew and staff at Seaclose Park, Newport.
The major stumbling block to the increase would be the residents of Newport, many of whom flee the island during the weekend of the festival. The cabinet member responsible for community safety, Cllr Barry Abraham, claims that there will be a full public consultation once a licensing application has been submitted, which must be done before Monday 12th April.
Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters and Kasabian are confirmed as the headliners to this years festival. Previous headliners since the festival was re-launched include The Police and David Bowie.
