Kasabian "absolutely buzzing" for tour return

Serge Pizzorno has said that he and his Kasabian bandmates are "absolutely buzzing" about returning to playing live shows.

The indie-rock band recently announced a handful of UK tour dates to take place this summer following a hiatus to record their upcoming album.

"We're absolutely buzzing to be back on the horse," the guitarist told The Sun. "We can't wait to blow your minds."

In addition to the four national dates, Kasabian will also appear at this year's Isle of Wight and RockNess festivals, where they are expected to showcase several new songs.

Pizzorno recently described the new material as "epic".

Frontman Tom Meighan has previously promised that the new record - the band's fourth album - will be "the most melodic record we've ever done". He also told the press that one of the songs under consideration for the record "sounds a bit like The Jackson Five".
