Last night (Friday 15 August 2025), Kasabian officialy launched the new Premier League season with a live performance of Sky Sports’ new title track, G.O.A.T.

G.O.A.T is now Kasabian’s second Sky Sports Premier League theme, following Club Foot‘s stint from 2009-2011. The band released a new ‘Sky 25’ mix of the track ahead of the debut live performance at London’s Outernet, before kick off of the 2025/26 season’s opening fixture, in which Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-2 at Anfield.

Following the match, the band played a few tracks for the private audience. Check out the full setlist here, or watch the live performance and interviews below.
