Notorious rock and roll firebrands Kasabian are ready to dust off their salopettes and mittens and set fire to the après-ski celebrations as they prepare to headline the exceptional Snowbombing festival in 2013!
Acclaimed as one of the hottest and most exhilarating live acts on earth, Kasabian will be leaving behind the stadiums and arenas they’re accustomed to in favour of a truly unique gig encircled by crisp winter air and snow-capped mountain peaks.
Their eagerly anticipated appearance will provide a suitably out-of-this-world climax to an event without rival - "the greatest show on snow"!
The Leicestershire lads will not only be appearing at the apex of the festival’s line up, but will also be scaling the hillsides to another summit as they perform a second and completely exclusive and intimate show 6000 feet up on the powder-topped crest of a mountain.
Kasabian’s Sergio Pizzorno says: "We have heard amazing things about Snowbombing over the years. Dance music has always been a massive influence on us so we are very exited to play this iconic event."
Snowbombing founder Gareth Cooper says: "One of the world’s best live bands playing in a small Austrian village is what Snowbombing is all about; delivering a unique, intimate festival experience in amazing surroundings and venues."
