Leeds indie rockers Kaiser Chiefs are the latest band to announce an exclusive virtual performance at O2 Academy Brixton. The ‘Live from London‘ concert is scheduled for Saturday 28 November at 8pm GMT, and is part of the iconic venue’s livestream gig series in partnership with MelodyVR. Tickets are already on sale for £10 at Brixton Academy’s website, highlighting the special one-off event as the lockdown evening you don’t want to miss:
“With a set-list packed with tracks from their recent, much-praised album Duck and anthems such as ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Oh My God’ and ‘Ruby’, Kaisers will provide the rock‘n’roll celebration we’ve all been waiting for. Groundbreaking livestream technology will transport fans from sofa to stage, for a one-off show full of immersive features and surprises.”
The iconic Brixton Academy have adapted efficiently to the ongoing government restrictions on live events, starting an exclusive livestream series broadcast worldwide via MelodyVR. The next few acts on their busy calendar include punk rockers Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes (13 Nov), global sensation Burna Boy (18 Nov) and Dublin favourites Fontaines D.C. (23 Nov) before Kaiser Chiefs deliver their signature indie rock straight to your living room at the end of the month.

At the beginning of the year, Kaiser Chiefs briefly continued their Duck tour from 2019 before the pandemic shut down all performances in March. The band was getting ready to perform at numerous summer festivals but had to posptone all for the time being and are offering a one-off chance to ‘get the full gig experience from the comfort of your own home‘.
We’d have loved to take on a summer festival tour, but for obvious reasons we couldn’t do that. If you caught the tour earlier this year, re-live a great night, and if you missed it you can get the full gig experience from the comfort of your own home — Kaiser Chiefs (@KaiserChiefs) November 12, 2020
Kaiser Chiefs released their seventh studio album Duck in July 2019 via Polydor Records. The album peaked at #3 at the Official UK and Scottish Albums Chart, outperforming its predecessor Stay Together (2016). The record was received moderately well by critics and fans, but failed the match the global success of their earlier chart topping Education, Education, Education & War (2014), Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007) and the six time platinum debut Employment (2005).
Most recently, the Leeds indie outfit released a special Halloween song ‘Zombie Prom‘ with a comic lockdown-inspired music video.
