KAISER CHIEFS

Saturday 13

Formed in Leeds in 2000, Kaiser Chiefs are one of the leading bands of their generation and one of the key names of the early 2000s’ British indie scene. Fronted by the charismatic Ricky Wilson with Simon Rix on bass, Andrew ‘Whitey’ White on guitar, Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines on keyboards and drummer Vijay Mistry, the band have had a string of anthemic hits such as ‘Oh My God’, ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Everyday I Love You Less and Less’,  ‘Never Miss A Beat’ and ‘Hole In My Soul’.

 

The band had a date with Mallorca Live back in 2020 –an edition which got cancelled due to the pandemic– and Kaiser Chiefs will finally visit the island this year as they continue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their hit debut album Employment (2005). Since then they have released 8 original studio albums, achieved top ten singles –including the infamous number 1 hit ‘Ruby’– 3 Brit Awards, an Ivor Novello award for Album of the Year, toured with U2, Foo Fighters and Green Day and sold 8 million albums.
