Kasabian will headline the Creamfields festival 2008, set to take place in Darensbury, Cheshire on August 23 and 24.
The Leicester troupe will join a slew of acts set to be announced for the festival at 8.30PM (GMT) on NME.COM tonight (March 7).
Speaking to NME.COM, Kasabian’s guitarist, Serge Pizzorno said: "We were saying we wanted to something different this year, and it was a weird one that they [Creamfields organisers] rang us.
"I don't think there are many other bands who could do this or would accept the challenge of getting a dance crowd going. It's a big one, 70,000 people - I'm shaking thinking about it now. It's going to be incredible."
Check back on NME.COM at 8.30pm (GMT) tonight to find out details about the rest of the Creamfields line-up.
