Fresh from a big old show at Alexandra Palace last month, Kaiser Chiefs are continuing the celebrations of their debut album, Employment, which turned 20 this year. The indie band have been playing the record in full, along with their other greatest hits, and have just announced a new set of UK shows to kick off 2026.

They’ll be celebrating the album one more time with a 12-show tour that kicks off in Bradford and ends in Wolverhampton. Tucked in the middle of the tour, Kaiser Chiefs will play a show at Hammersmith Apollo on February 20.

Speaking on their Instagram page, the band said: “MORE Employment, you say? Yes! Due to phenomenal demand, and after having such a good time this summer with you all, we wanted to keep this show on the road! Join us in February as we continue the Employment celebrations around the country!”
