Kaiser Chiefs are returning to Australia in November for a run of shows celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal record Employment.
For the first time in over a decade, UK indie rock legends Kaiser Chiefs are heading back to Australia. This November, the band will celebrate 20 years since the release of their game-changing album Employment with a run of arena shows across the country.
Kicking off in Perth at RAC Arena on Sunday November 23, the tour will continue to Melbourne and Sydney, before wrapping up in Brisbane on Friday November 28.
The tour marks the band’s first appearance on Aussie stages since 2012, when they played packed headline shows following their unforgettable Splendour in the Grass set the year before.
“20 years ago, a brand new song by a brand new band was released. ‘I Predict A Riot’ was the start of something really special for some musicians from Leeds,” the band shared. “And the album that followed, Employment, changed our lives and has soundtracked the lives of millions of others since 2005. In 2025 we are saluting 20 years of that album and everyone is invited. Come celebrate the 2000’s, loving everything less & less and stripey blazers taking over the world.”

The band have since released eight studio albums, earned three Brit Awards, toured with U2 and Foo Fighters, and cemented their status as a fixture of 2000s indie rock.
