<p>Their appearance came just days after they cancelled their Belfast performance on Tuesday at the last moment because frontman Tom Meighan had been taken to hospital with a bug. But he was back on top form as he greeted his fans on Friday night, marking one week since the TV legend’s death at 89.</p>

<p>During a rendition of hit track Vlad The Impaler, Meighan called out: “Bruce Forsyth, I’ll see you on the other side,” according to a report by music magazine NME. Moments later, the band were also joined onstage by close friend and incoming The Great British Bake Off presenter Noel Fielding.</p>
<p>The quirky comedian donned a cape and platform boots as he introduced himself with: “I have killed many people in my time. I also present a cake show.” According to The Mighty Boosh creator, it was the band’s Serge Pizzorno who first sparked his interest in the hit family baking contest.</p>
<p>Speaking at a launch event for the upcoming series on Channel 4 earlier in the week, he told reporters: “My friend Serge, from Kasabian, said I would love it so I watched (past seasons) back to back and really enjoyed it. “It was such a nice vibe, even though I don’t bake, so when they asked me to do it, I was really staggered and I just thought it was too big an opportunity.</p>
<p>“I also really wanted to work with Sandi (his new co-presenter Sandi Toksvig), who was already in.”<br />
Toksvig jokingly admitted that she had no idea who “Serge” was. Kasabian’s set list for the night also included Underdog, Club Foot, Re-Wire, Shoot The Runner and Comeback Kid.</p>
<p>The rest of the day also saw performances from Fatboy SLim, Bastille, Two Door Cinema Club, Lethal Bizzle, Anne-Marie and Billy Talent. Meanwhile, Muse headlined the night over in Leeds with a set packed with stunning visual effects and fireworks.</p>
