Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan has said the band are looking forward to supporting Oasis on their 2009 UK stadium tour.

The band were personally invited to join the tour by Oasis guitarist and friend, Noel Gallagher.

Meighan told the BBC: "The fact he likes us is just nice, it's a plus."

Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno said their dates with Oasis would form just a small part of the band's extensive live plans in 2009.

"There's gonna be a hell of a lot of noise. It'll be almost deafening I think, we'll be banging on everyone's door,” he said.

Kasabian are due to release their as-yet-untitled third album early in the New Year.
