Kaiser Chiefs announce new Leeds and London shows

Following the release of their hit new album Leeds boys the Kaiser Chiefs will be returning to the first direct arena next February. This is one of only two UK arena dates the band will play in the UK in 2015.

Tickets for the Saturday 14 February show go on sale this Friday, priced from £19.50.

Kaiser Chiefs have just spent two weeks at the top of the UK Album charts with their fifth studio album, Education, Education, Education & War. The album debuted at number one and held on to the position for a second week. Confirming this the band said "2 weeks at the top! We haven't been here for a while, it feels fantastic. Thanks to everyone who stuck by us. It's been emotional."

Of returning to the first direct arena, bassist Simon Rix said, "It's a great time for the Leeds music scene, there's a lot going on right now. We're so happy to be able to play the new Arena again, nothing can match the support we get from the Yorkshire crowds". 

It's a busy summer for Kaiser Chiefs with the band set to play at V Festival, T in the Park and Glastonbury alongside a number of European dates and a North American Tour. 

Expect to hear songs from their host of hit albums, including I Predict A Riot, Everyday I Love You Less and Less, Never Miss A Beat and Oh My God, as well as favourites from their No1 album, Education, Education, Education & War, including recent hit single Coming Home.
