Kasabian Announce Tour (Irish dates added)

Furious-Red

Kasabian have announced they will hit the road again later this year for a 'monster' UK arena tour.

The band's fourth studio album 'Velociraptor!' is set for release on September 19th, and includes the new tracks ‘Switchblade Smiles’ and ‘Days Are Forgotten’. Their previous album, the critically acclaimed 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum', has already shifted over 1 million records worldwide!

The new album opens a new chapter in terms of Kasabian’s distinctive sound, and the 'Club Foot' singer is evidently pleased at how well the new music has been received during their summer shows.

Kasabian guitarist Sergio Pizzorno said, "The overall response from the gigs and people that have heard it on the radio has been bigger than ever. Everyone seems to be really digging the new sound. It’s a huge progression for us, it’s epic. It’s a proper rock album, futuristic modern rock album. It’s the future."

Kasabian Tour Dates are as follows:

Mon Nov 28th - Brighton Centre, Brighton
Wed Nov 30th - Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff
Fri Dec 2nd - Capital FM Arena, Nottingham
Sun Dec 4th - Echo Arena, Liverpool
Tue Dec 6th - NIA, Birmingham
Wed Dec 7th - MEN Arena, Manchester
Thu Dec 8th - Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle
Sat Dec 10th - Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield
Sun Dec 11th - SECC, Glasgow
Wed Dec 14th - O2 Arena, London

Tickets for Kasabian will go onsale next Friday, September 2nd at 9am, priced from £30.00 (£32.50 London) + Fees.

Be shocked if they didn't do a Dublin show.

Saw them at Oxegen in 2010 and they were the surprise package for me. Really enjoyed their set. Annoyed I didnt know more than 7 or 8 songs.

Furious-Red

Imo they are better at their own gigs than festivals or support slots.

df1985

brilliant at the o2 the last time, will be going 100%.

They need to take a rest for about 5 years, everyone is fed up with them at this stage.

What??????? Its not like they have been everywhere like KOL , all this year they have been pretty quite while they have been recording the new record.

df1985

id agree, i think theyre only getting the recognition the last while that theyve been deserving for a long time.

I have only seen them once and would love to see them at their own headline show.

DebDynamite

This is great news.

hulkeverton

how long do you reckon it will take for this to sell out? really wanna go but wont be able to afford a ticket till friday week.

Furious-Red

Id say it will sell fast , might not sell out in minutes but id say Standing tickets will fly out

Marty McFly

Delighted to hear this ive seen Kasabian loads of time at this stage, always brilliant. Id give a left nut to go see this favorite band. Also at 33 euro thats a great price.

Shaneosexual

How to you buy the pre sale tickets? There isn't anything about it on the O2 website???

Agreed ive seen them 5 times already (this will be my 6th) and they just get better and better each time. And the fact they once again have the price the same as their last gig is great . It will be €33 well spent

Yeh at 33 euro its a bagain really not very often you get to see a band or anything in the 02 for such a low price good to see kasabian havent turned into greedy fcukers. First time i saw them was in Dublin Castle didnt know much about them went because friends were going ever since then ive been hooked .

Got them through facebook in the end.

Didn't see any o2blueroom tickets go on sale though!

Strange..

Pulse8

If you clickd "buy tickets" on any of the other gigs listed it brought you to a ticketmaster page where Kasabian are listed, think my linl above goes to it

They didnt have one on the actual O2 site though which is weird alright

Thanks for the link guys. I should have read two posts up before posting :rolleyes:

My internet in work SUCKS. Never mind the fact they still have us on IE6. The connection keeps dropping, have sent the link and my log in details on to someone else so hopefully we'll still get them.

Of course it won't drop when I hit send on this post!

Last year on that very same weekend, Steve Lawler had to cancel because the snow was so bad. Lets hope that doesn't happen with Kasabian!!!

Edit: Got them, thanks for your help!! See you there
