Indie rockers White Lies to join Kaiser Chiefs as special guests at Scarborough show
Ahead of tickets going on sale for their much-anticipated return to Scarborough next summer, Yorkshire’s very own Kaiser Chiefs have revealed they will be joined by special guests White Lies.
The band will join the Leeds heroes as they headline Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Friday June 11.
Tickets go on sale via ticketmaster.co.uk and scarboroughopenairtheatre.com at 10am today (September 25).
Formed in Ealing as teenagers before releasing their much-loved and lauded debut album To Lose My Life… in 2009, White Lies have arguably become one of the biggest guitar bands in the UK.
The past decade has seen the band establish themselves globally with sold out tours in Europe and beyond, including a sold-out show at Mexico City’s Pepsi Center in 2023, with their last two album tours seeing them play multiple sold out Brixton Academy shows and the Hammersmith Apollo in London.
The Scarborough date marks a triumphant return for Kaiser Chiefs who last headlined the seaside venue in 2021.
Kaiser Chiefs – Ricky Wilson (vocals), Simon Rix (bass), Andrew ‘Whitey’ White (guitar), Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines (keyboards) and Vijay Mistry (drums) – are undoubtedly one of the most treasured bands of their generation.
Since forming back in 2000, they have truly made their mark on the British music scene with such anthemic hits as Oh My God, I Predict A Riot, Never Miss A Beat and Hole In My Soul, across eight original studio albums.
Kaiser Chiefs are the latest headline artist announced for 2027 at Scarborough OAT which will also see shows from Alfie Boe, Ronan Keating, Jack Savoretti and James Morrison, and Simply Red.
