Kasabian may have to pay to watch Stones

Kasabian may have to fork out £600 to watch the Rolling Stones, even though they're supporting them.

The Leicester band have been told they can watch the headliners from the side of the stage, but only if there is enough space. The Stones' friends and families could well take up the allocated area.

Lead singer Tom Meighan said: "It's quite incredible. We're f***ing supporting them! So if we get kicked off the stage we've got to buy a ticket, which is about 200 quid. "It's probably Americans who are running it, not Jagger. And Richards isn't going to know what's f***ing going on, is he?"

However, Kasabian are not complaining about the opportunity to play with their idols: "It is a f***ing absolute honour you know, they're gods, ain't they?" Meighan continued.

"It just happens so fast sometimes that I just don't know how to take it, but it's a wonderful thing, man."
