Following the success of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ four nights at Earls Court, Kasabian has announced a date at the venue for 19 December 2006, proving that Earls Court’s 20,000-capacity arena continues to attract the biggest names in music.
Suzie Pollock, Music and Entertainment Manager, EC&O Venues, said:
“We’ve already had big-name international acts as well as promising new acts play at the venue and the line-up for the rest of the year brings many more exciting music and entertainment events to Earls Court. Such a diverse range of acts demonstrates Earls Court’s flexibility - and sheer ability - when it comes to putting on a show.”
Not only has Earls Court played host to rock legends and internationally acclaimed artists this year, it has been the forum to launch up-and-coming bands and DJs. Give It A Name, the two day indoor rock festival featuring My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday and Lostprophets, organised a battle of the bands, and London Calling, an event for the music industry, used two stages to showcase new groups and DJs in Earls Court’s Brompton Hall.
Andy Copping of Live Nation (UK) said:
“Bringing acts such as Kasabian to Earls Court is so simple: the venue’s central London location means the thousands of concert-goers find it easy to get there, using the excellent transport links that surround the venue. The approach of the teams makes it all so easy; whether it’s a standing or a seated event, or a mixture of both, I know I’m always guaranteed the same high standard of service.”
Tickets for Kasabian are available from the Earls Court Box Office from 12 August 2006, online at www.eco.co.uk or by calling 0870 903 9033.
