Kasabian have announced a new Scotland date.

The group will perform at Edinburgh's Corn Exchange on August 20.

The show will act as a warm-up gig ahead of Kasabian's headline slots at the V Festival on August 22 and 23.

Tickets for the Edinburgh date will go on sale from 9am UK time on July 23.

They will be priced at £39.50.

Kasabian singer Tom Meighan meanwhile recently gave his thoughts on pop stars One Direction.

He said: "They're f***ing millionaires but they're five no-ones who won the lottery. They're massive, but they're a product, we're not.

''They're like shampoo. You buy it to put in your hair and wash it out, like the Spice Girls. Thing is, they'll all get angry with each other, fall out and do too many drugs. They'll wanna be f***ing arty and do something clever and they'll break up."
