Kasabian Reveals New Album 'Happenings' and Plans for 'Summer Solstice II' Concert in Leicester Featuring Kaiser Chiefs

The rock band Kasabian has shared exciting news about their upcoming new album titled 'Happenings' and a major live event known as 'Summer Solstice II.' This event is slated to take place in their home city of Leicester, reaffirming their local roots and connection with the community.

New Album Announcement

Kasabian is set to release their anticipated album 'Happenings' next summer, with specific details about the release still under wraps. This album follows their previous work, 'The Alchemist's Euphoria,' signaling a new era for the band since the departure of original frontman Tom Meighan and the transition of bandmate Serge Pizzorno to lead vocals.

'Summer Solstice II' Concert

The 'Summer Solstice II' concert featuring Kasabian will take place at Victoria Park on Saturday, July 6, a decade after their first performance at the venue. Kaiser Chiefs are confirmed as the support act, with additional opening acts to be announced. The concert promises to be the biggest party of the summer, according to the band's enthusiastic statement.

The band expressed their excitement and honor in performing again at Victoria Park among their hometown crowd, inviting fans to join them for an unforgettable summer celebration.

Ticket Sales and Pre-Sale Details

The special pre-sale for tickets is set to commence on December 7 at 9:30 am, with the general sale beginning on December 8 at the same time. Fans looking to secure their spot early can gain pre-sale access by pre-ordering 'Happenings'.

Kasabian's comeback to Victoria Park will be their first without Meighan, who left the band in 2020. Since his departure, Meighan has faced personal challenges, including issues with alcohol addiction, abuse convictions, and a subsequent solo career launch.

Band's Journey Post-Meighan

With Pizzorno as the new frontman, Kasabian released 'The Alchemist's Euphoria' and have continued their journey as a band, showcasing their ability to evolve and adapt. The 'Summer Solstice II' concert marks a significant milestone in their new chapter.
