Due to release their third, Dan the Automator produced, studio album in April, Kasabian will deliver a gilt edged salvo of brand new psychedelic funk, as well as songs cherry picked from their anthemic back catalogue.
Joining Kasabian on the line up for Brighton’s premiere annual festival will be flower punksters The Black Lips, heavyweight indie-rap supergroup Mongrel, the folk-driven indie rock of Lightspeed Champion, electro-pop doyen and BBC Sound of 2009 winner Little Boots, Canadian groove juggernaut Holy Fuck and Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man who have just released the 2nd of the EP trilogy, Opus 2 - Obscured by a Setting Sun.
Also playing this year’s landmark showcase event will be local bands British Sea Power and The Pipettes, plus Cage The Elephant, Chew Lips, Mika Miko, Beth Jeans Houghton, Screaming Tea Party, Artefacts For Space Travel, Apples, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, The Miserable Rich, Woodpigeon and The Arkells will all be travelling to southern shores for some serious gig action.
With all-girl garage rockers Ipso Facto, Betchadupa front-man Liam Finn, Melbourne’s The Temper Trap off-kilter popsters Everything Everything, The Invisible’s genre-hopping, the feedback-soaked S.C.U.M and Hunting The Minotaur’s dual riffage all also set to make appearances.
