Kaiser Chiefs Announce Running Times For Temple Newsam Homecoming Gig

Yorkshire indie icons Kaiser Chiefs have announced the stage times for their massive hometown show at Leeds’ Temple Newsam Park on Saturday 31st May which sees the band celebrating 20 years of their iconic debut album Employment alongside an all-star supporting lineup including Razorlight, The Cribs, The Coral, We Are Scientists, HotWax and Ellur.

Released back in March 2005, the seven-times Platinum and multi-award winning Employment remains the biggest ever selling record from a Leeds artist, with hits from the record like I Predict A Riot and Oh My God becoming anthems for the city; forever intertwined with Leeds life, culture, football and more. To mark that special connection, as well as twenty years of the album, Kaiser Chiefs will take to one of Leeds’ biggest stages for a celebration of Employment and the city that inspired it.

With the event receiving a big response from fans across the country, Kaiser Chiefs have now shared the stage times for the entire day to ensure that nobody misses a minute of the music:

Kaiser Chiefs (Celebrating 20 years of Employment): 8.50pm – 10.30pm
Razorlight (Performing Up All Night in full (20 years)): 7.20pm – 8.20pm
The Cribs (Performing The New Fellas in full (20 years)): 6.05pm – 6.50pm
The Coral: 4:50pm – 5.35pm
We Are Scientists: 3.40pm – 4.20pm
HotWax: 2.45pm – 3.15pm
Ellur: 1.50pm – 2.20pm
Gates Open: 1pm

Leeds’ favourite five piece will be joined by a supporting cast of their mid-noughties peers, including a return to Yorkshire for London quintet Razorlight who are set to perform a special show to mark 20 years since the release of their seminal debut album Up All Night.

Joining them on the bill are local heroes The Cribs (who in turn will celebrate 20 years since their classic sophomore album The New Fellas), Merseyside’s finest The Coral, and cult-favourite US indie rockers We Are Scientists (who will also honour the 20th release anniversary of their exhilarating major label debut ‘With Love And Squalor’).

As well as marking one of the great eras of British indie music, the band will also be keeping one eye on the future, inviting two of the most exciting new indie artists in the UK to open the day; Hastings trio HotWax and West Yorkshire’s own Ellur.
