Kaiser Chiefs tour review: Leeds band raise the roof in packed arena gig with barnstorming set

“I recognise so many of you,” joked Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson to his thousands of adoring fans in attendance at Leeds' First Direct Arena.

The crowd went absolutely wild as the Leeds-born singer stormed through his setlist which kicked off with hits Born to Be A Dancer and Never Miss a Beat, on Saturday night (November 12) in the massive city centre venue. The Kaisers performed a medley of their greatest hits, along with several of their new songs, providing a balance of the old and new as part of their All Together UK Tour.

This came after an absolutely cracking support act from the Fratellis, another great band which emerged in the early 2000s along with the indie-wave. It’s just a shame that so many unfortunately had to miss them due to a problem with Ticketmaster which caused massive queues outside to the box office after tickets had ‘disappeared' in a technical glitch.
