To celebrate 20 years since the release of their debut album "Employment", the Leeds band will play a massive show at Temple Newsam Park on May 31, 2025.
The band formed in Leeds in the late 90s under the name Runston Parva, before eventually becoming Kaiser Chiefs as we know it today in 2003.
Throughout their career, the band has played numerous gigs in the city, including at the then-newly opened O2 Academy, First Direct Arena, and several versions of Leeds Festival.
Here are 21 nostalgic photos of Kaiser Chiefs in Leeds throughout the years:
