Following a spectacular summer of headline grabbing shows, including a stand out performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, a sublime headline date at Alexandra Palace Park in London and a mammoth homecoming show at Leeds’ Temple Newsam Park, Kaiser Chiefs have extended their Employment celebrations with a new run of 2026 dates due to phenomenal demand.
"This summer, we played a load of shows to mark the release of our debut album
‘Employment’. It went well. Probably better than our first summer 20 years ago. It was the
year after that first year that things really took off…,”
Ricky says of the announcement:
“So we hope you will join us in February to help celebrate with us ‘the year it really took off’. If you
were with us the first time, or unfortunately missed out due to other commitments, we hope
you will join us for a joyous lap of honour. (Plus, I spent quite a bit on a new blazer and want
to get my money’s worth)"
Kicking off at Live in Bradford on February 13th 2026, the 12 date More Employment tour will
see the band continue the party across the UK, including a date at London’s Eventim Apollo
on Friday February 20th. Tickets go on sale on Friday August 22nd at 9am.
KAISER CHIEFS arrive at Stockton Globe on February 15 th 2026. Tickets are available on
