In June, Barclays withdrew from sponsoring Latitude, Download and Isle Of Wight festivals following an artist boycott due to the company’s connection to Israel.
Latitude confirmed the news in a statement to NME, writing: “Following discussion with artists, we have agreed with Barclays that they will step back from sponsorship of Latitude Festival.”
This year’s headliners Kasabian played a surprise show at Glastonbury 2024 last month ahead of their huge homecoming gig in Leicester, ‘Summer Solstice II’. They released their eighth studio album, ‘Happenings’, on July 5.
Speaking to NME recently, frontman Serge Pizzorno explained: “Usually, I tend to react to the last album, and I went through it surgically (wahey) so that every eight bars, it hits. It’s a pop record, in a way – it’s just big song after big song. I wanted to make the point, then leave as fast as possible.”
As for Kasabian’s live gigs, the singer-songwriter said: “What excites me is going out there, not knowing what the fuck is gonna happen at a show. Going from Travis Scott to Lou Reed to Iggy Pop, using all these influences and trying to then put my own spin on it.”
Pizzorno and co. are scheduled to tour the UK with special guests The Streets later this year.
London Grammar, meanwhile, topped The Park Stage at Glasto ’24. The trio will drop their fourth full-length record, ‘The Greatest Love’, on September 13 before embarking on a UK arena tour in November.
