Kasabian frontman slates Glastonbury ‘08 despite/because of not performing/attending

Festival News, Music News

Everyone’s had one of those “friends” who, if they don’t attend an event, goes to great lengths to assure everyone else who wasn’t there - and some who were - that the party in question was rubbish. Tom Meighan of Kasabian is the rock equivalent of that friend.
In what could be seen as comments intended to back up his fave man-crush Noel Gallagher, Meighan has banged on about about how crap the festival was this year, even though he wasn’t there as either a fan or a performer.


Sadly failing to begin his dig with “I’m not being funny, but”, Meighan told Gigwise: “To be honest with you I thought Glastonbury was rubbish this year and I’m not just saying that.”
Cheers for that. On a completely unrelated topic, he then admitted he’d love Kasabian to headline Glasto next year. “It would be lovely if we could,” he said, perhaps bashfully looking at the ground and twisting his foot back and forth.
Ahhh! So all Glasto needed to be a success this year was a bunch of lunky lad-rockers to headline! Fingers crossed for ‘09, eh folks?
