Kaiser Chiefs have confirmed a huge hometown show to celebrate 20 years of 'Employment'

Kaiser Chiefs are set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album 'Employment' with a massive hometown show.

It'll take place at Leeds' Temple Newsam Park on 31st May 2025, with a supporting lineup that includes Razorlight, The Cribs, The Coral, We Are Scientists, HotWax, and Ellur.

Razorlight and The Cribs will also be commemorating 20 years since their albums 'Up All Night' and 'The New Fellas' respectively.

Kaiser Chiefs comment: "Very excited to announce our biggest Leeds gig ever. Twenty years since Employment and twenty-three years since we last played at Temple Newsam we are delighted to be back. Last time we played there (in Parva) we joked we were on after Guns n Roses who had played the previous night so it's been a long wait to finally actually headline the Park. We are a band that historically always looked forwards but after 20 years of people telling us how important Employment is to them and how it soundtracked people's lives, we felt we had to organise a celebration. We've managed to get a few of our old touring friends to come and celebrate with us and of course everyone is invited. Come celebrate the 2000's, Employment, When Leeds took over the World. See you all in May."

Pre-sale for the event is currently open, with general admission tickets going on sale at 9am on 11th October.
