Kasabian voted Best Group at The BRIT Awards 2010

17th February 2010

Kasabian walked off with Best Group at The BRIT Awards last night and put in a stirling performance of Fire to boot. If you missed the show on TV, you can watch the band playing Fire (complete with flames) right here.

Less than two hours after their triumph at the BRITs, Kasabian stormed through a 50 minute set of their greatest hits in front of 2,000 very lucky fans at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire for charity War Child.

The band were joined by special guest Noel Fielding for new single Vlad The Impaler. Tom Meighan said:

"This was an epic, special evening for us - and there was no better way to mark it than with this performance. To be in a venue with our fans and friends and to have everyone with their hands in the air for War Child and Kasabian. It was historic."
