As the lead singer of Kasabian (helping to sell over four million albums), Tom Meighan’s unmistakable vocals are a central, many would say essential, component on timeless tracks like ‘Fire,’ ‘Club Foot,’ and ‘Shoot the Runner,’ to name only three. On the back of five number one albums with his old band, Tom fronted headline festival shows across Europe, including Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading and won NME, Q, and Mojo awards, as well as a Brit. Tom Meighan had it all. Bona fide British rock royalty.
But a much-publicised fall from grace saw Tom ousted from Kasabian and – in his own words “A couple of years that were the lowest of my life. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get on stage again.”
Marriage, therapy, and a while in the wilderness have done wonders for wild-man Tom though.
His first solo album – 2023’s ‘The Reckoning’ - with brand-new collaborators, was clearly part of his healing process and heralded the emergence of a more reflective man. So, the tide began to turn for Tom Meighan in 2023, with no clearer example than his championing
by Noel Gallagher who had Tom as support on a UK arena tour in December.
Facing large festival and arena crowds this year showed again that Tom Meighan is A captivating frontman, empowered by every square foot of the stage when he performs. Almost like he’s plugged into the sound system himself, not just his microphone. Part of the electrics. A genuine live wire. And his latest live show is an unapologetic rock set from start to finish. Yes, it’s tempered by some more mature material, but he now brings fresh life to those Kasabian classics that liberally pepper his set. And his brand-new bangers smartly retain those terrace style chanting choruses, those danceable guitar riffs, and a stadium
worthy groove too. Risen from the ashes of his former life, Tom Meighan is still worth seeing and hearing in the flesh.
Check him out.
