After their 5th number one album in a row, Kasabian returned to the Granite City’s AECC

The band walked out dressed completely in white and played through a set filled with old classics and tracks from their newest album, For Crying Out, Loud that are bound to be classics.

They opened with the same track they chose to open their newest album with – Ill Ray (The King) – a high tempo tune filled with bold guitar licks that prepared the crowd for what was to come. Kasabian then took the crowd back to an experimental time and played Bumblebee followed by the critically acclaimed Eez-Eh from the 48:13 album.

The atmosphere went from excitement to euphoric as the band played Underdog, Shoot The Runner, You’re In Love with a Psycho and anthem, Clubfoot consecutively, which created a mass sing-along within the arena.

Frontmen Tom and Sergio looked at home on the Aberdeen stage, telling the crowd that receptions like this are the reason they love being in a band. The fans shared the gratitude and sang every word of the next two hits, Stevie and Empire. The fans then started bouncing along to one of the favourites from the new record, God Bless This Acid House. Next, Sergio put down his guitar and asked the crowd: “Are you ready for something off the top shelf?” before striding around and performing Treat.

The band then transported the audience back to their first album with Kasabian classic LSF. The combination of band energy, crowd participation and an intense light show made the entire arena forget it was a rainy Sunday night.

With a quick break, Kasabian swiftly strutted back out on to the stage and played through a seamless encore. First, they played an upbeat and lively version of new single Comeback Kid and then went into Vlad The Impaler which, had the entire venue screaming ‘Get Loose Get Loose’. Inevitably, they closed the unforgettable show with a song that isn’t just a Kasabian classic but a rock classic, ‘Fire’.

Although their beloved Leicester City punched above their weight once or twice in recent years, Kasabian do this with every new record and with a strong relationship between the band members that doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon. Sergio wrote this most recent album in 6 weeks and all we can hope for is that the rock giants manage another quick turn around so we can see them back in Scotland again soon.
