Kasabian set for Marlay Park headliner

Kasabian took the world by storm in the 2000s mixing traces of Stone Roses, Primal Scream, Oasis with electro-atmospherics, releasing hit single after hit single, producing celebrated albums and becoming a hugely popular live act in the process.

Named after Linda Kasabian, Charles Manson’s getaway driver turned state witness, and led by swaggering lead singer Tom Meighan and charismatic founding guitarist and main songwriter Sergio Pizzorno, Kasabian have become one of the last true gangs in Rock ‘n’ Roll, boasting a huge, fiercely loyal following from the start of their career until today.

Their brand off psyched-out electro rock has proved to be durable force, with their most recent album Velicorapter garnering the best reviews of their career and shooting up album charts all over the world!

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have taken their 16-month tour all over the world this year, returning home this summer to play UK festivals, including the recent Isle of Wight show which got an amazing response.

Now, after garnering a number one album in this country, they are coming to Ireland for this special Marlay Park show with friends Kasabian, along with appearances at Britain’s primary festivals and six more shows including London’s Wembley Arena.

They are also set to release a new single “Everybody’s on the Run” here on August 3.

The Cribs, described by Q as “the biggest cult band in the UK” recently released their 5th studio album “In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull” to critical acclaim.

The Wakefield band, a trio once more, largely recorded the album in New York with MGMT and Flaming Lips producer David Fridmann at his Tarbox Road studio.
