Kaiser Chiefs

In August 2012, during the band's performance at the Reading Festival, Kaiser Chiefs were at a significant point in their career, having released their fourth studio album, "The Future Is Medieval," in June 2011. This album marked a notable shift, as it allowed fans to create their own tracklist, reflecting the band's innovative approach to music distribution. By the time of the Reading performance, the band was actively promoting this work while still performing hits from their earlier albums, such as "Employment," which included popular tracks like "I Predict a Riot" and "Ruby." Their energetic and engaging live performances had solidified their reputation on the festival circuit, making the Reading Festival performance a key highlight in their career during this period. Interesting to note is that the setlist featured a mix of new material and classic anthems, showcasing their evolution while still tapping into their initial success.
