Kaiser Chiefs have been announced as the latest act that will be coming to Montrose this summer.

The multi-award winning band are the third headline show to be confirmed as part of ‘Live at the Links’, a series of concerts scheduled for the East Links in August.

Fronted by lead singer and former The Voice judge Ricky Wilson, the indie rock band first burst on to the world stage following the release of their debut album in 2005.

They’ve scored numerous hits including Oh My God, Never Miss a Beat and Ruby, their infamous number one hit. Their sixth record Stay Together was released in 2016 and reached number four in the UK album chart.

The band’s front man, Ricky Wilson, said: “We’re really excited to be playing in Montrose this August as we’ve heard great things about the East Links.

“We’ll put on an outstanding show and will pick out some of our best-known smash hits to perform, so come and join us, and let’s make it an unforgettable night.”

Ricky is joined in the band by guitarist Andrew ‘Whitey’ White, Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines on keyboards, bassist Simon Rix and drummer Vijay Mistry.
