Headlining the Shepherd's Bush Empire straight after picking up the award for Best British Group at this year's Brit Awards, Kasabian played a triumphant gig in aid of War Child on Tuesday night (Feb. 16).

The band, who beat Doves, Muse and Friendly Fires to scoop the prize, headlined the intimate west London venue, topping a bill which included Calvin Harris and La Roux.

During the gig, singer Tom Meighan praised the charity, which works with children in war zones, telling the audience to "Raise your hands for War Child."

The post-Brits party also saw Kasabian joined on stage by the Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding for their current single 'Vlad the Impaler' -- a repeat of the collaboration which happened at Kasabian's Wembley Arena show earlier last Sunday (Feb. 14).

Fielding reprised his role from video for 'Vlad the Impaler' -- brandishing an 'impaling stick' and wearing a cape.

They were also joined on stage by singer La Roux, who had appeared at the War Child show earlier.
