Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan has told NME that the band will roadtest new material on an 'intimate' spring UK tour.

Meighan said the band would be playing mid-sized venues - intimate by their stadium standards these days.

 

"We're going to go back on the road in April or May, and we're going to be doing the small shows again – 1,000, 2,000 people a night," he revealed in the latest issue of NME.

 

With the band heading into the studio next month to start recording the follow-up to latest album 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum', Meighan hinted that by the time the gigs come round they'll be aiming to include new material in their set.

 

"I think we'll play two or three new songs," he said. "Serge [Pizzorno, guitarist] has written a song we can end on now apart from 'LSF' too. Maybe that's just me putting my balls on the table, but I hope we can do that."

 

Meanwhile, Meighan said he was "gobsmacked" to learn that Kasabian have been nominated in the Best British Band and Best Live Band categories in the Shockwaves NME Awards 2011, adding that being up for the prizes is "a fucking honour".

And to make it even WORSE !

Beady Eye goes the day before I go !! :veryangry:

There must be somebody worth seeing on the day you go surely?

I'm going 2 days , and RW is 4 days in Total ,

 

Definitely there is someone worth seeing ,

Arctic Monkeys on the first day I go

and Coldplay on the second day I go ,

I know , I'm lucky I'll see those ...

 

BUt youknow , before the names of RW were given I wrote 6 bands I absolutely don't want to miss this summer IF they tour

 

Beady Eye , Coldplay , Kasabian , Arctic Monkeys , The Libertines(or Babyshambles) and Stereophonics ....

 

and look , 2 of them I'm gonna miss already ... :bigcry:

 

The Libs won't tour I guess...

 

The Worsest thing that could happen now , is that Stereophonics go on one of those days I do not go , if that's the case , I'll sell my Coldplay tix :\

I'll be lucky if I see one of my favourite bands.

I really want to see kasabian in spring :freak:

but have a good time either days you go :nice:

KASABIAN GOES TO ROCK WERCHTER !!! :freak:

 

NOT ON THE DAYS I GO !

Oh noes :bigcry: Can't you go all four days? Anyway, like Kat said, I'm sure you'll enjoy the bands you do get to see :D

 

Anyway this might cheer you up - at least 5 tracks for the new album are recorded :dance:

 

London Metropolitan Orchestra record with Kasabian

Wooh some news :awesome:

Oh yeah what was the film Serge was supposed to be writing for?

Edit: London Boulevard I completely forgot about it :blank:

Oh noes :bigcry: Can't you go all four days? Anyway, like Kat said, I'm sure you'll enjoy the bands you do get to see :D

London Metropolitan Orchestra record with Kasabian

Well , I'm searching for a sleeping place , Werchter is too far from my home ...

soo , If I find one , I can maaaaaybe go 4 days , but there's not much chance :cry:

 

but Kasabian isn't very known and not very big here in Belgium ...

So I guess there won't be such a great atmosphere + they are playing during daylight ...

youkno , maybe I just have to wait till they tour here....

 

Cool for the news btw ! :)

WHYYYYY ?

are they so early ?

 

They should be f*cking headliners , Fuck black I peas ...

I hate them !

Who the hell is grinderman?

are you going to this festival Noemi?

Grinderman is Nick Cave's new band. Haven't given them a listen tho, so dunno what they sound like. That's a depressing line-up there, urgh Kaiser Chiefs, Black Eyed Peas :sick: Kasabian will shine a hundred times better, in comparison to all that shite ;)

 

Watching Tom in this is gonna be hilarious. I hope it gets on tv soon. There's loads of pics knocking around tumblr today :cheesy: He looks old tho, almost haggard. Bless 'im. I suppose it's the character, but still..Tom lay off the booze for a bit, love :rolleyes:

 

 

Walk Like A Panther

What channel is this going to be on? :wacky:

Dunno yet, they've only made the pilot so far so it's not even definate that it'll be on tv at all. It should be tho, there seems to be quite a bit of interest.

I just liked it on facebook and in the info it says due 2012 :sad:

Who the hell is grinderman?

are you going to this festival Noemi?

Yeah I am :p

 

That's a depressing line-up there, urgh Kaiser Chiefs, Black Eyed Peas :sick: Kasabian will shine a hundred times better, in comparison to all that shite ;)

I know right :freak:

Kasabian will be fucking awesome !

I fear that the atmothpere will be lame ,

But I'll start a party myself :p

:dance:

But youknow , that festival isn't that bad :p
