Kasabian have played a secret set at Glastonbury 2024.
The Leicester rockers - comprised of Serge Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, Tim Carter with touring guitarist Rob Harvey - took to the Woodsies Stage in a rammed tent for the special "TBA" slot on Saturday 29th June at 6pm.
Opening with the classic early track Club Foot, frontman Serge Pizzorno wore a distinctive shredded denim outfit and told the crowd: "Glastonbury... how the f**k are you? Several million years has brought us to this moment!"
The Leicester outfit played a selection of tracks from across their career, with the likes of classic tracks Ill Ray (The King), Underdog, Shoot The Runner and You're In Love With A Psycho performed alongside latest singles Call and Coming Back To Me Good, which feature on their forthcoming eighth studio album, Happenings.
The "surprise" set had been rumoured for a number of days previously, and the band confirmed it on the Saturday morning, leading to the Woodsies area being shut down prior to the set due to the amount of people trying to see the band.
Finishing with a thunderous version of the 2009 hit Fire, Pizzorno told the crowd: "This is one of the greatest days in this band's history", coming a full 20 years after Kasabian first played the festival.

Kasabian's Glasto set comes ahead of the much anticipated Solstice II - their long-awaited homecoming show at Leicester's Victoria Park on Saturday 6th July.
The huge outdoor show, which will mark 10 years from their Solstice I gig in the same park, will also take place the day after their Happenings album is released.
Announcing the news last year, Serge Pizzorno and co said: "We are truly honoured to be playing Victoria Park in our beloved hometown, with all our people for summer solstice two. We cannot wait to get out there and play the biggest party of the summer with you all. See you in the mosh pit."
