FUN FACTS:
Contrary to popular belief, the band’s name isn’t inspired by the German word for Emperor (i.e., “Kaiser”). Rather, the band support the English professional football club Leeds United and named themselves after the former team of ex-Leeds United captain Lucas Radebe - Kaizer Chiefs FC.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
I predict a riot. Or at least the band to perform their song, “I Predict A Riot”. However, Kaiser Chiefs are known to energetically bounce their way through fast paced setlists and their performances have been compared to more like having a good time at a rowdy pub than being at a concert with hundreds of strangers.
