Kaiser Chiefs joins the Weekend Beach Festival

The Weekend Beach Festival will feature the British indie band Kaiser Chiefs on its lineup next July when it celebrates its tenth edition in the coastal core of Torre del Mar, in Vélez-Málaga. Formed in Leeds in 2000, Kaiser Chiefs are one of the leading bands of their generation. Led by the charismatic Ricky Wilson with Simon Rix on bass, Andrew 'Whitey' White on guitar, Nick 'Peanut' Baines on keyboards, and drummer Vijay Mistry, the band has had a series of international hit anthems throughout their career such as 'Ruby', 'Oh my god', 'I predict a riot', 'Everyday I love you less and less', 'Never miss a beat', and 'Hole in my soul', among many others.

The band has released eight original studio albums including their Mercury-nominated debut, 'Employment', which sold over 2 million copies, followed by their number one, 'Yours truly, angry mob', which achieved double platinum status in the United Kingdom alone and 'Education education education and war', which also entered the UK album charts at number one. They have sold over eight million albums.

They have achieved top ten singles, including the infamous number one hit 'Ruby', three Brit Awards, and an Ivor Novello Award for Album of the Year in addition to touring with U2, Foo Fighters, and Green Day.

"Perhaps we'll never reach the point where we can sit back in an armchair with our arms behind our heads and say, 'guys, we've made it'. But at the same time, maybe that's why, years later, the Kaiser Chiefs are still here." This is how the band sums up the great moment they are in.

European Tour

In this year 2025, according to the organization of the Weekend Beach Festival, their European tour exclusively includes a unique date in Andalusia at Torre del Mar to celebrate the band's 20 years and the 10 years of this summer musical event, which this edition is held on July 10, 11, and 12.

It is worth remembering that Kaiser Chiefs joins a lineup that already includes performances by Kase.O and Estopa (both with their unique dates in Andalusia according to the festival organization); the successful Argentine duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso; and the cinematic techno of Mathame; among many other bands and artists yet to be announced.
