The idea of Kasabian playing at Leicester City’s stadium to mark the club winning the Premier League will never stop being weird.
While the band are huge fans of the Foxes, it’s the second part of that sentence which will have football fans doing double-takes for a long, long time.
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has praised the East Midlands band, who were banging the drum for the club long before their unlikely run to Premier League glory.
And the love affair between band and club came to a head with a homecoming gig at the King Power Stadium on Saturday night.

The setlist was a fantastic blend of Kasabian old and new.
Tracks from their self-titled debut album, including L.S.F. and Club Foot, were accompanied by a cover of Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Crazy’ and a debut for new track ‘Put Your Life On It’.
And Tom, Serge et all have given a chance for fans who couldn’t make it along to relive the experience, putting the entire set into one Spotify playlist.
It won’t quite be the same as being inside the stadium itself, where Kasabian will return tonight for part two.
But if you weren’t there, like newly married Jamie Vardy, it’s as close as you’ll be able to get.
