As the lead singer of Kasabian – helping 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 including
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.
After the fallout from his ousting from Kasabian, 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. Here was a fallen rockstar, older and wiser, baring his scars and grief for all to see through new songs, and part of a new musical clan.
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. And Noel was vindicated too - Meighan had those arenas close to capacity EVERY night.
Another solo album and headline tour are to come in Autumn 2024, but in the meantime - off the back of his highly praised RAW ’24 acoustic tour - Tom's latest live show is an unapologetic rock set from start to finish. Yes, it’s tempered by some more mature material – proving that Tom can do tender as well as tumultuous – but he now brings fresh life to even 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.
