Kaiser Chiefs have announced that All The Young, Frankie and the Heartstring, Fixers, Club Smith and Native Tongue will all perform as supports for their mammoth 21-date UK tour, which is set to go ahead in January and February next year.
The tour follows the band’s re-emergence this year with new album ‘The Future Is Medieval’, a host of UK festival appearances including a euphoric return to Glastonbury, V Festival, some superlative shows on the European festival circuit and two huge outdoor shows at Leeds Kirkstall Abbey last month.
After a three-year break from recording, Kaiser Chiefs recently returned to our stereos with their fourth album ‘The Future is Medieval’, the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Off With Their Heads’. However, this time around, the band decided to bring out an album with a difference. Rather than putting the record together themselves and deciding which tracks to include on it, they picked 20 songs that fans could then choose from to build their own Kaiser Chiefs album.
Through the band’s website, people were able to select and arrange their 10 favourite tracks from those on offer customize the artwork to their liking and purchase their very own version of the album. Even better than that, if others agreed with your creation enough to buy it themselves, rather than putting together their own adaptation, you earned yourself an entire quid for your efforts with every copy sold. Fortunately, for the more indecisive and slightly less imaginative among us, the band eventually got around to picking 13 of the tracks themselves and putting together an official release of the album.
So, those of you that chose to go for the more exciting option following the release of ‘The Future is Medieval’ will finally be able to find out which of your selected tracks will feature in future Kaiser Chiefs’ setlists. Alternatively, if you haven’t yet got around to picking up the band’s latest album – of your own making or otherwise – but you still want to catch some of your earlier favourites, performed at one of the Kaiser Chiefs’ renowned live performances, then you’re bound to get the chance when the band visit a town near you in the new year. And with 20 dates on offer, you’re unlikely to have to travel far.
So, if you want to catch the Kaiser Chiefs performing live early on next year, alongside All The Young, Frankie and the Heartstring, Fixers, Club Smith and Native Tongue, check the dates and details below.
