And Kaiser Chiefs Too!


Another cool new band set to perform with U2 in Europe.

Five-piece Leeds-based pop act Kaiser Chiefs are set to play with U2 at shows in Vienna, Berlin and Amsterdam (July 13th) this summer.

With their debut album Employment hitting the top five in the UK, the band have already been wowing US critics where ‘I Predict A Riot’ has been a radio hit.

We’ll bring you our own U2.Com introduction to Kaiser Chiefs shortly. Meanwhile best place for more is http://www.kaiserchiefs.co.uk/

What the fuck! Why aren't we getting any of these bands here in the states... That really sucks! We are stuck with the kings.... I hope they consider these bands for the third leg....

Actually I think Interpol was twickenham but i could be wrong.

Interpol is 18th at Twickenham, not 19th.

These dates for Kaiser Chiefs - Vienna, Berlin and Amsterdam (13th) all have Killers or Snow Patrol listed already - Kasier chiefs as well? or instead?
Even more confused now
