Kasabian Defend 'Bold' Metallica Glastonbury Booking

But Serge and Tom believe Prince was the festival’s first choice to headline on Saturday night...

Praising Metallica, Serge continued: “These boys, they’re clever man. They’ve been doing it a long time and there’s a reason why they are who they are. I’m sure they’ll pull something out the bag.”

Having topped the bill at many of Britain’s biggest festivals including V, Reading & Leeds and T in the Park in recent years, last summer’s Hard Rock Calling headliners believe their prestigious Glastonbury slot is well overdue.

“It’s such an honour and we’re really humbled to be headlining Glastonbury, but we’ve waited a long bloody time,” said Tom.

“We’ll just do what we always do – turn up and crank the volume up.

“I think it’ll be a wonderful, captivating moment for everyone and it’ll be one of those moments where you’ve got to be there.”

Kasabian release their fifth studio album 48:13 on June 9.
