Amid all the controversy they’re releasing their new single ‘Empire’ on August 21. It is the title track from the band's new album ‘Empire’ which comes out on September 4. Serge said: "When the first single comes out people are going to be asking 'What the f*** are these lads on?' It's all about the tunes. It's just a classic record and that's the exciting thing. That's exactly why I wanted to be in a band".

They’ve been out of the charts for a while but you might have heard the band’s cover of David Bowie’s 'Heroes' track as the background music on ITV's World Cup coverage.

Look out for Kasabian at the V Festival where they’ll be headlining both the Chelmsford Hylands Park and Weston Park sites on August 19 and 20.
