Summer's coming, our plans are mapped out, it's time to talk.

The recent shows in Australia & Singapore were fantastic, thanks to all of you in Australia, it was our best trip ever down under. 'Off With Their Heads' is still going strong in Aus, you helped the album reach a new peak of #2 during the trip, we appreciate it. You'll be stuck with 'Never Miss A Beat' a while over there, it's soundtracking the new AFL Season on TV.

What's next?

If our plans this Summer turn out as good as they sound, we'll enjoy it very much. We're touring with U2 in Europe & with Green Day in America. All dates are announced, and listed below: We also have a short run of Festivals from late June to end of August including Lowlands (Holland), Lollapalooza (USA), Arras (France) and shows as far afield as Tel Aviv, Portugal, Copenhagen, Istanbul and Tromso, Norway amongst others.

Cheers to those of you on the Isle of Man who bought tickets for our Reading/Leeds warm-up show there, the gig Sold Out in minutes, we've had reports of power surges & phone line chaos, apologies to anyone who missed out as a result of that. Its beyond our control, but we're flattered so many of you wanted tickets.

Kaiser Chiefs will stop for a while after our exclusive UK shows this Summer at Reading Festival (Aug 28th) & Leeds Festival (Aug 30th). It was always the masterplan to put a full stop on things back home at Leeds Festival, we're pleased it worked out that way.
