Kaiser Chiefs open Glastonbury with surprise set


Kaiser Chiefs surprised fans at Glastonbury Festival by opening the Other Stage today (27.06.14).

The ‘Ruby’ rockers took to the stage at 11am this morning to entertain the crowd with an exciting set, as front man Ricky Wilson pushed up against the barrier and got close to the punters.

‘The Voice’ judge encouraged the fans to "sing along", even if they weren’t familiar with the tunes, launching into ‘Every Day I Love You Less and Less’ from the group’s debut album ‘Employment’.

He said: "Glastonbury, sing along if you know the words. If you don’t, sing along anyway."

They even brought a change in weather as they took to the stage, with the rain stopped for the first time all morning.

He joked: "Look at what the weather’s doing. Are we going to stick two fingers up at the sky?"

The group’s weekend at the iconic Worthy Farm festival isn’t done, though, as they’ll be headlining the John Peel Stage later tonight.

Meanwhile, two fans have died at the annual event since the gates opened.

Earlier today, a 26-year-old man died from a suspected adverse reaction to illegal drug ketamine, while a 67-year-old woman died in her sleep from what police believe to be natural causes on Wednesday (25.06.14).
