Wry Britpoppers Kaiser Chiefs have booked some Splendour sideshows down the East Coast near the release of their new album.

They clever indie rockers just released their new single ‘Little Shocks’ from their forthcoming fourth album and first since 2008’s Off With Their Heads.

Their next album is due out “mid”-2011 so we’re sure to hear some new music when they play Splendour, and side shows in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne in early August.

Kaiser Chiefs have also secured some great support acts in Papa Vs Pretty, who have just released their sterling modern rock debut United In Isolation, and hyped all-girl rockers Stonefield.

Frontier members get their chance to snap up tickets from midday next Monday 6 June and for the rest of us from 9am on Thursday 9 June.

Wednesday 3 August – UC Refectory, Canberra
