Kasabian played the most chilled-out gig of their career yesterday - thousands of feet above sea level at Austria's teeth-chatteringly cold Snowbombing Festival.
In the shadow of the snow-capped peaks above Mayrhofen, the band played a one-off, stripped-back set at dusk on a specially constructed stage outside an igloo village in front of an intimate crowd of just 450 fans.
The Leicester rockers - who were well wrapped-up against the elements, if their mums are reading - kicked off with Days Are Forgotten in a set that took in LSF and Underdog and covers of Breakfast in America and Praise You.
"One of my favourite gigs ever!" tweeted MTV reporter Ben Lowe, after the final song. "I've just seen Kasabian up a mountain top. Amazing," was the verdict of festival-goer Connor Robinson. A "mind blowing afternoon," said music writer Marco Zande.
The gig was at the Barclaycard Arctic Disco, which has spent the week hosting a raft of cutting-edge musical talent at one of the world's most unlikely and picturesque venues.
