Leeds United win means busy weekend for Kaiser Chiefs

Kaiser Chiefs are set for the weekend of their lives, after their beloved Leeds United made it into the Football League Play-Off Final last night (May 15).

The team came from behind � after losing the first leg 2-1 � to beat Carlisle United 2-0 on the night, thus winning the two-legged tie 3-2 on aggregate.

It means Leeds will now play either Doncaster Rovers or Southend United who play tonight (May 16) at the Wembley final next Sunday (25) � and the timing could not be better for Kaiser Chiefs.

The band play a massive homecoming show the day beforehand (24) at Leeds United's Elland Road stadium, the perfect build-up to the final.

NME.COM can reveal that some last-minute tickets have become available for the gig after the film crew covering the gig decided they did not need the extra space.

To check the availability of Kaiser Chiefs tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/GIGS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

It also means a busy weekend for Kaiser Chiefs. They will be playing live on Radio 1's Breakfast Show from 9am on May 23, the band then will play the Elland Road show before dashing down to London overnight to attend the Wembley Play-Off Final.

NME and NME.COM will be bringing you full coverage of the Kaiser Chiefs' Elland Road gig with news coming live from the venue on the day along with a special souvenir issue which is due to hit UK newsstands just days after the show.
