Kaiser Chiefs, the Leeds band behind “I Predict a Riot” and the number one “Ruby”, play Hampton Court Palace in East Molesey, Surrey, on Saturday 26 June 2027.
The band formed in Leeds in 1996 as Runston Parva, shortened the name to Parva in 2000 and became Kaiser Chiefs in 2003. Ricky Wilson sings, with Andrew White on guitar, Simon Rix on bass and Nick Baines on keyboards. Vijay Mistry has played drums since 2013.
Their 2005 debut, Employment, sold more than three million copies and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. It won the band three Brit Awards, among them Best British Group.
“Ruby” reached number one in 2007, and their other singles include “Oh My God” and “Everyday I Love You Less and Less”. The band have now released eight studio albums, the latest Kaiser Chiefs’ Easy Eighth Album in 2024.
The night is part of the Hampton Court Palace Festival, which seats 3,000 in Base Court, the palace’s Tudor courtyard. The festival says it is their only London appearance next summer.
