Happenings is the eighth studio album by British band Kasabian. It was released on 5 July 2024 through Sony Music. Background and singles Kasabian announced Happenings on 5 December 2023, shortly after recording wrapped with two days left for the mixing process. Inspired by gigs of 1960s psychedelic bands, it was said to be a "joyous" album filled with "big tunes". The band started recording while they were touring their previous record The Alchemist's Euphoria in late 2022. The album release on 5 July 2024 will coincide with their homecoming headline show at Victoria Park, Leicester on 6 July. The lead single "Algorithms", a commentary on the emergence of artificial intelligence, was released on 16 June 2023, more than a year ahead of the album release. "Call" was released as the second single on 21 February 2024, a song the band referred to as "dance music". On 12 April, they released the "summer-ready" "Coming Back to Me Good" in the form "of a short and sweet anthem" with a "disco drive" but also moments of "of togetherness", according to Serge Pizzorno.
