Kasabian get Creamed

Band to headline Creamfields Festival

07 Mar 2008 - Kasabian have been confirmed as headliners of this year’s Creamfields Festival.

2008 marks Creamfields 10 ^th anniversary and Kasabian’s appearance will be their only English festival appearance of the year.

Frontman Tom Meighan told 6 Music why the band are limiting their festival commitments: “I think it wouldn’t have been fair for us to just turn up at V Festival again and Glastonbury. We’ve been there for the last two years.

“I thought we needed to make a change this time. I think its dangerous territory for us to do it. I quite thrive on that.”

Creamfields will run over two days for the first time in its history this year - from 23 to 24 August at Daresbury in Cheshire. Organisers plan to use the two days to ‘mix top class indie bands with dance acts and DJ royalty.’

The 10 ^th anniversary will also be marked by 13 Creamfields festivals being held worldwide - in Spain, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Argentina, Malta and Turkey.

Tickets for Creamfields 2008 are on sale now. More acts will be announced shortly.
