The band overcome jetlag as Carling Weekend: Reading headline slot approaches.Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan was in particularly upbeat mood today, speaking backstage at the Reading Festival.
With his band due to headline the NME/Radio 1 stage tonight, Meighan joined us for a brief chat, and the iconic singer revealed he couldn't wait to play - despite monumental jetlag:
"We just flew in from Japan," he revealed. After witnessing the band at Benicassim, Meighan said both the Spanish event were very different but equally exciting:
"We've been full on. Five days off but still trying to adjust the body clock!"
"But, y'now," he added. "I live for this. There seems to be a lot of long faces round here! If you can't pick yourself up for festivals then what can you do..."
The band headline the NME/Radio 1 stage tonight, around 2200GMT at Reading, before playing the Leeds event tomorrow (August 27).
Check back with us tonight, and over the weekend, for all the latest news and interviews from the Carling Weekend.
