Watch Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno join Calvin Harris for ‘Release The Pressure’ at huge Hampden Park shows as DJ celebrates with ‘rave haggis’
Calvin Harris brought Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno on stage as a special guest during his two biggest-ever homecoming shows at Hampden Park in Glasgow, performing their collaborative single "Release The Pressure" on both nights. The Dumfries-born DJ played to a combined 100,000 fans across the back-to-back concerts, with the first night broadcast live on the BBC, marking a significant milestone in his career alongside a recent Tomorrowland debut and a Forza Horizon 6 soundtrack credit.
The shows, held over the weekend of 1-2 August 2026, also featured Harris performing hits including "We Found Love", "Bounce" and "Feel So Close", plus a guest appearance from Clementine Douglas for their BRIT-nominated single "Blessings". To celebrate the occasion, Harris launched a limited-edition "rave haggis" with Scottish butcher Stahly Quality Foods, sold both at the gigs and online. Pizzorno, who first connected with Harris around 20 years ago, previously told NME the pair reconnected and wrote the track after Harris responded to it with "Banger incoming. Hotel vibes." Harris next begins the second leg of his Ibiza residency on 2 October.
