Kaiser Chiefs

On July 2, 2005, Kaiser Chiefs delivered an electrifying performance of "I Predict a Riot" at the iconic Live 8 event in Philadelphia. At this point in their career, the band had just released their debut album, 'Employment,' which came out a year earlier in March 2005. This album included hits like 'Everyday I Love You Less and Less' and truly ramped up their popularity. Live 8 offered them a massive platform, showcasing their energetic style to a global audience amidst a historic moment aimed at ending poverty. Interestingly, the band captured the spirit of the era with their lively performance, and the infectious energy of this track became a defining sound of the mid-2000s indie rock scene. This live gig not only solidified their status but also paved the way for future releases, as they continued to evolve as artists in the years that followed.
