Overview
Kasabian have called Glastonbury's decision to book heavy metal legends Metallica as the third and final headliners "bold" - but are confident the band will pull it off.
Speaking to MTV, Tom Meighan and Serge Pizzorno discussed how surprised everyone was by the unexpected announcement, and even admitted they think Metallica were booked because Prince wasn't available.
"I think everyone was prepared for Prince," Pizzorno said. Bandmate Meighan then added: "I think they ran out of time for Prince. It's quite a bold move Metallica - it's a monster."
"These boys, they’re clever, man," Pizzorno added. "They’ve been doing it a long time and there’s a reason why they are who they are. I’m sure they'll pull something out the bag."
Metallica will headline Glastonbury, which takes place June 26 to June 30, alongside Kasabian and Arcade Fire. Tickets are sold out.
