In classic rock and roll manner, Kasabian have stolen the thunder this Monday, announcing their biggest London gig to date, alongside the release of their new single ‘Hippie Sunshine.’
Next summer the Leicester born band will take to the legendary Finsbury Park, for what they are calling ‘the party of our lives.’
On Sunday afternoon Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno uploaded a cryptic video to the band’s social media, sending the fanbase into a torturous plunge of suspense.
Pizzorno, 44, videoed himself outside The Finsbury pub, in the video he sarcastically reminisces on the band’s old days, when they were busking in pubs to intimate crowds.
He said: “You know what, I love an old boozer, especially to play gigs in, the best of times (they were)… can’t imagine doing something like that again though”
Less than a day later, it was announced that tickets would be going on sale this friday, for up to 50,000 fans to get their hands on.
Until last week it’d been pretty much radio silence from the band since they closed Tramlines Festival in Sheffield at the end of July. Except for an underwhelming introduction for Sky Sports’ Premier league season.
The silence ceased with teasers for their new single ‘Hippie Sunshine’ hitting social media. The band describe the song as:
“The restless energy of hyper individuals who struggle to slow down and face reality, searching instead for the illusion of escape. It captures the passing moment where everything feels light and limitless, yet beneath it lies a deep sense of disconnection, something both beautiful and tragic.”
The lineup for the Finsbury Park event which will take place on July 4 2026 was also released. Kasabian will be supported by:
Louis Dunford
Razorlight
The K’s
Miles Kane
Sofy
Kasabian’s ninth studio album “ACT III” is set for release in Spring 2026, by pre-ordering it before Wednesday September 24, you can gain exclusive access to presale for the Finsbury Park show.
