Kasabian aim for intimate vibes at Wolvo Civic

It is a sign of the band’s stature that their idea of intimate includes the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, a major date in many performers’ tour itinaries.

Kasabian are currently the best band in the world according to the Q music magazine and their anthemic, semi-psychadelic grooves have propelled them into the multi-platinum selling category.

After the success of their last album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, the group, who formed in Leicestershire in 1999, have been working on a follow up in America which is set for release in October.

Meanwhile Kasabian will be rolling into Wolverhampton for their intimate gig on Tuesday June 7.
