Kaiser Chiefs have extended their ‘Employment’ 20th anniversary celebrations with a 2026 UK tour, including London’s Eventim Apollo

Kaiser Chiefs are set to continue marking 20 years of debut album 'Employment' with a new run of UK shows in 2026.

“This summer, we played a load of shows to mark the release of our debut album ‘Employment’. It went well. Probably better than our first summer 20 years ago. It was the year after that first year that things really took off…,” Ricky says of the announcement.

“So we hope you will join us in February to help celebrate with us ‘the year it really took off’. If you were with us the first time, or unfortunately missed out due to other commitments, we hope you will join us for a joyous lap of honour. (Plus, I spent quite a bit on a new blazer and want to get my money’s worth)”.

The new More Employment tour will begin at Live in Bradford on 13th February 2026 and include 12 dates across the UK, with a London stop at Eventim Apollo on 20th February. A 20th anniversary reissue of 'Employment', remastered at Abbey Road Studios with bonus material curated by the band from their archive, is out now.
