Serge Pizzorno has teased what to expect from Kasabian's shows this summer and has named Oasis and Radiohead's 2025 gigs among his inspiration.

"I went to see Oasis, then I went to see Radiohead, then last night I went to see Fred Again.., and all three shows for their own reasons were magnificent, the frontman told NME.

"So in my mind now I’m thinking for the summer, we’re heading for a combination of those three shows.

"Imagine those three melted into something new - and that’s where we’re headed."

The dark story behind Kasabian's band name

The band - completed by Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews and - have been known for their more rave-style anthems in recent years and released a collaborative effort Release The Pressure with Calvin Harris last month, but Serge has insisted that the band's next album Act III is "rooted in guitars".

Speaking of the single, the 45-year-old musician said: "That was definitely just an adventure and an exploration into some mad world, whereas Act III is rooted in guitars."

"It's very much a guitar album," he added. "I fell back in love with it. I’ve never really been out of love with it, but I found myself drawn to the guitar a lot more on that album."
