Kasabian performed songs from all five of their albums at their Leicester homecoming show last night (21 June).

The gig, which took place in Victoria Park in Leicester, saw the band play to a 50,000-strong crowd.

The band are due to headline Glastonbury festival in less than a week, but they described their Leicester gig as the "pinnacle."

Speaking to local news stations, Serge Pizzorno, who performed the show in a t-shirt emblazoned with 'Les-tah', said: "We've always always wanted to do this, because Leicester's always been special to us man, I mean we all still live here. We've always been underdogs, Leicester's an underdog town."

The set began with 'Bumblebee', the opening track from Kasabian's new album 48:13, which was followed by 'Shoot The Runner' from their 2006 album Empire.

The event, which was to celebrate Kasabian's 10th anniversary, sold out in two days, and was the largest event in the park since Radio 1's One Big Sunday in 2003.
