From Release: UK indie icons Kaiser Chiefs have announced their return to Australia this November, celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their seminal record, Employment, one of the best-selling UK debut albums of all time. It will be their first visit to these shores since 2012, when they packed out venues across the country – they also played an exhilarating set at Splendour in the Grass along with sideshows in 2011.  The band is currently weaving their way across the UK and Europe playing an extensive schedule of outdoor celebration shows..
