Kaiser Chiefs have been forced to reschedule some of their upcoming tour dates due to illness.

The band were due to kick off their UK tour this week in Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow. However, a post on the band’s social media pages revealed that the dates were being rescheduled due to an “unforeseen illness.”

The band added that they were “very sorry for the inconvenience” and that all tickets would still be valid for the shows, which have been rescheduled for June. You can see the affected dates below.

Last September, the band confirmed the release of their seventh album at the same time as announcing a lengthy UK tour.

The Yorkshire indie veterans revealed that they would be following up 2016’s ‘Stay Together’ with a new record due in the new year, as they return to their original major record label Polydor. The 20-date tour was planned to help launch the album.

Speaking to NME earlier this year about their plans for their next album, frontman Ricky Wilson said: “The cards are looking up. We’re writing, we’re always writing. We’re touring, we’re always touring.
