Kasabian’s Tom Meighan has suggested that a stadium tour could be on the way for the rockers – but a stop in his hometown Leicester’s football stadium is out of the question.
The ‘Club Foot’ singers have just released their fourth studio album ‘Velociraptor!’, and have lined-up an arena tour for November. But, with Meighan and guitarist Serge Pizzorno thinking the band are ready for bigger things, he spoke about the possibility of the band performing in stadiums for a tour next year, and the idea of headlining 2013’s Glastonbury.
“I can’t say anything about it, but time will tell,” the pair revealed. “It would really be something if we could play Wembley Stadium, to be big enough to headline there? Magnificent. Who knows what’ll happen next year.
“When [Leicester’s] stadium was built it wasn’t designed to be sturdy enough to have rock shows there, we keep asking the council if it can be strengthened. It would be incredible to have a homecoming at City’s ground as the biggest venue in Leicester only holds 2,000 people, which is frustrating.
“It would have been brilliant to play Glastonbury but all we need is a phone call from Michael Eavis and we’ll be there for 2013. One thing I really want to do before all this ends is to headline Glastonbury as we’ve always had an incredible time playing there. Hopefully it’ll happen.”
If you want to catch the band live this autumn, check the dates and details below.
