The band made a special appearance at Mulberry's Firepit party at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs ahead of their performance at the Californian festival tomorrow.
The song, which featured in the 1976 musical film, was the finale to Kasabian's short acoustic set of greatest hits, that included 'Days Are Forgotten', 'LSF', 'Fire' and 'Man Of Simple Pleasures'. The latter was dedicated to Freddie Cowan from The Vaccines, who was watching in the audience.
Speaking earlier in the evening about the choice of cover version,
Meighan said:
Honest to god, I probably watch it [Bugsy Malone] twice a year. It's just one of those amazing films. I remember getting funny feelings when I was a kid about Tallulah. I was probably about five years old when I saw it, but it was one of those moments y'know.
Guitarist Serge Pizzorno added: "The soundtrack's unbelievable. They're just anthems you know!"

Meanwhile, The Vaccines

Rolling Stones, Pixies and Nancy Sinatra to guests that included Azealia
Banks and actress Kate Bosworth. Mulberry will hold a second event at the Parker Hotel later this afternoon. The 'pool' party will feature Metronomy DJing and hotly-tipped brother-sister duo Wild Belle playing live.
