Kasabian to headline Snowbombing festival in 2013

Kasabian have been confirmed as headliners of April's Snowbombing festival in Mayrhofen, Austria.

The band join the likes of Example, Katy B, Rudimental and Carl Cox on the line-up.

As well as playing a show in Mayrhofen town, they are also set to play a second more intimate gig on the mountain itself.

The festival takes place between 1-6 April 2013 and is Europe's biggest snow and music event.

Snowbombing features gigs in some unusual locations such as a forest clearing and a venue carved out of ice and snow.

The week of the festival also includes a fancy dress street party through the Austrian ski resort.

Acts to have played in previous years have included Dizzee Rascal, Labrinth, The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and Tinie Tempah.
