Everything you need to know about the Kaiser Chiefs gig at Elland Road

Kaiser Chiefs are returning to their hometown to play a huge gig at Elland Road.

The indie rockers will be performing at the home of their favourite football side on Saturday, June 8, ahead of the release of their seventh studio album 'Duck'.

They wowed a 35,000 capacity crowd during their last performance at the stadium in May 2008 and are expecting another massive crowd when they return in June. 

If you are planning to head down and watch their set, as well as performances from the other big-name acts on the line-up, then here's a handy guide with everything you need to know about the event.

Who is performing?

Kaiser Chiefs are obviously the headline act, but there will also be performances from another talented homegrown group known as Marsicans and Sheffield rockers The Sherlocks.

Wakefield four-piece Skinny Living, Indie rock group The Vaccines and former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes have also been added to the bill.

What are we celebrating?

The gig has been organised to commemorate Leeds United's centenary year.

It's fair to say that fans are pretty excited about the event, which has been billed as 'a special day in club history', and Leeds United managed to sell more than 5,000 tickets to members and season ticket holders before the general sale began. 

What time does it start?

The doors open at 2pm and the event gets underway at 3pm but the set times have not been announced yet.

Can I still buy tickets?

Yes, there are a few tickets still on sale and you can buy them online by visiting the seetickets website.

Tickets start from £49.50 (including a booking fee), but if you fancy a more luxurious evening then you can splash out on the hospitality packages, which include meals, drinks and a comfy seat.

Can I bring the kids?

Children must be over six to attend the event and those under 13 have to be accompanied by an adult.

How can I get there?

The stadium is around two miles away from Leeds station, so if you catch a train there you can walk or book a taxi to Elland Road.

The 51 / 52 / 55 buses also travel from Leeds city centre to Elland Road and stop outside of the stadium.

If you are planning to drive there, then type the 'LS11 0ES' postcode into your sat nav. The stadium is next to junction 2 of the M621 and there are plenty of spaces in nearby council-run car parks.
