Glastonbury 2024: Kasabian versiona éxitos, toca clásicos y muestra un avance de ‘Happenings’ en el repleto set secreto de Glastonbury 2024
El festival cerró el escenario de Woodsies por aglomeración antes del set sorpresa de la banda
Kasabian acaba de ofrecer una explosiva actuación sorpresa en Glastonbury 2024, con un setlist que incluía sus mayores éxitos, una muestra de su próxima nueva era y homenajes a la música dance.
Después de subir al escenario de Woodsies hoy (sábado 29 de junio) a las 6 p. m., la banda recibió una respuesta enérgica y cordial de la multitud, abriendo con ‘Club Foot’ de su álbum debut homónimo de 2004. Esta fue su quinta vez en Worthy Farm, pero la primera desde la partida del líder Tom Meighan en 2020.
Para Sergio Pizzorno parecía una ocasión trascendental. «Este ha sido uno de los mejores días en la historia de esta banda», dijo a la multitud. “20 años, quiero decir, mierda. Me quedo sin palabras. Sólo quiero agradecerles a todos y cada uno de ustedes, honestamente, han sido absolutamente increíbles”.

Prior to their performance, the tent was packed, with fans being turned away as early as 5pm after the area was closed due to overcrowding.

In line with their dance-inspired new era, much of the setlist was a frenetic homage to dance music. They covered ‘Groove Is In The Heart’, the 1990 disco funk hit from American dance group Deee-Lite, and sampled ‘Breathe’ by The Prodigy before playing a bombastic rendition of their own track ‘Vlad The Impaler’. Elsewhere there was a sample of ‘Intergalactic’ by Beastie Boys and ‘Praise You’ by Fatboy Slim to bring in ‘L.S.F.’.
The band also previewed their new album ‘Happenings’, which is due for release on July 5. Pizzorno wore a jacket displaying the album’s artwork, and they played ‘Call’, the record’s dance-driven lead single.
Prior to their performance, Pizzorno chatted to NME, calling Glastonbury “the greatest festival” and recalling his past Glasto memories with Noel Fielding. Check it out below:
Earlier this year, Pizzorno hinted to NME that their forthcoming eighth album would have a party theme. “This time I was really into pop structure and making everything super clean and punchy – taking those kooky, crazy, weird sounds and making them hit like a modern record,” he said.
He also teased the euphoric live performances to come with the new era — something that was certainly on display tonight. “‘Happenings’ is a concept so there will be some surprises from stage. Certainly, the aesthetic is from Oz Magazine and early punk zines. There’s a lot of that mixed with the cheekiness of the band,” he said. “The gigs will be pure joy, as this album is a celebration of sorts. It’s all about everyone coming together and having a fucking good time.”
El set recibió una fuerte respuesta de la multitud, que pareció seguir la petición de Pizzorno de que «dejen que esta música penetre en su corazón y en su alma».
Después de mucha especulación, Kasabian confirmó hoy que asumirían el puesto, que anteriormente figuraba como «TBA», y publicó un video de Instagram de ellos en su camino a Worthy Farm. Su actuación se produce una década desde que la banda encabezó el escenario piramidal.
