On April 5, Kasabian just lit up SNL UK with two fresh tracks as the third musical guest on the new British version of the show. They dropped their dance vibe collab with Calvin Harris called, release the pressure, then followed with great pretender, their latest single off the, upcoming album act 3, hitting shows July 17th. This went down April 4th with Riz Ahmed hosting, marking another step for the show that caked off in March. Frontman Serge Pizorno called great pretender, a straight up guitar banger, meant to bring folks together in pure joy. The UK edition has split crowds, some calling it a flop while others dig it, but Pizorno's all in after catching the first episode. He loves seeing live bands back on TV, shouting out wet legs killer performance, and how social clips keep the energy alive. Pizorno also flipped the script on Imposter Syndrome, saying it fuels him right before hitting the stage, that now or never rush keeps things real, and pushes him past playing safe, tying back to his outside of roots.

They're wrapping up with their biggest London headline ever, 45,000 strong at Finsbury Park, July 4th, plus first ever Thursday Slut. Headlining leads festival this August, and more summer stops ahead. This has been Music News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
