Transcript

00:00Hi, I'm Andrew Trendall. You're watching NME. We're here at Glastonbury 2024. And surprise!

00:11It's Kasabian. Hey man. How you doing Serge? You good? Yeah, good. Are we allowed to say it now?

00:16Yeah, yeah. The world knows now. The world's found out about our now. That was killing me, that.

00:19But yeah, so last time you were here, headlining, you've always had a great relationship with Glastonbury.

00:24How does it feel to be back, man? You know what? It's good. I feel, I like this place a lot.

00:29Like, it is the greatest festival and already, like, we've been here five minutes and you just get on the thing, don't you?

00:36Yeah. You just get in that river and you're just like, yeah, for the next few days, you know what I mean?

00:42Yeah. This is my home. Any sweet memories of last time? I've written a really adorable story about you

00:47and Noel Fielding in a bunk bed listening to an audiobook or something. Yeah, on the way here.

00:52I texted him this morning, actually, because, like, you've just got to keep, the adrenaline kicks.

00:59For this gig, man, the adrenaline just goes, like, you just wake up with it.

01:04So, you know, rather than hitting the, you know, hitting the suitcase, you know what I'm saying, full of whatever,

01:12you go, I need some sort of, like, thing to just calm everything down. Noel's got just the thing.

01:18So, we go upstairs in the top of the bus, there's a front lounge thing, and he puts three men on a boat.

01:24You know that story? It's a mad story about the Thames. And we put it on, obviously, fucking cracking up.

01:32It's like, this is a wild, weird move. And then we just sit there and, like, I'm like, yeah, you know what?

01:38This is the ideal sort of headspace to be before I get here, you know what I mean?

01:43So, I text him this morning and say, I need that three men on a boat audiobook, mate.

01:47But I've seen Noel Gallagher about. Are you going to party?

01:49Ah, nice. You know what? No, I've not seen him for a while. Yeah, I'm sure we'll bump.

01:53He's the kind of guy you'll meet, like, four in the morning in the rabbit hole or something, in the dance thing.

01:59I mean, maybe I'll see him there.
