Kasabian close V Festival 2015 with huge Saturday headline set

22 August, 2015: Kasabian stormed their headline set at V Festival last night, taking the opportunity to pay tribute to Cilla Black. Check out our awesome photos from the show here.

The band dedicated the track 'Goodbye Kiss' to the late, great TV personality and pop sensation Cilla Black, much to great elation and respect from the Chelmsford crowd. 

As well as leaning heavily on 2014's massive album 48:13, as well as their vast catalogue of arena-ready indie anthems, the Leicestershire lads also treated Essex to a smattering of covers - including 'Word Up!' by Cameo, 'Ready Or Not' by Fugees, and their now standard rendition of 'Praise You' by Fatboy Slim. 

The band will now be heading North to close the Staffordshire leg of the event, while Calvin Harris makes his way South. 

This weekend's V Festival also sees massive performances from the likes of Ellie Goulding, Chvrches, Sam Smith, Hozier, Clean Bandit, Stereophonics and many more.
