Kaiser Chiefs Promise ‘Twice As Good’ Glastonbury Set
The band will be ‘twice as good’ as their recent appearance at Isle Of Wight festival, according to Nick Hodgson.

Kaiser Chiefs will be ‘twice as good’ at Glastonbury, compared to their recent appearance at Isle Of Wight festival, according to drummer Nick Hodgson.
Speaking to DIY, he suggested the band are getting back in to the swing of things live.
‘I think we’re only getting really back into it in the last couple of gigs,’ Hodgson revealed. ‘I think [the recent show at] Electric Ballroom was us much more in control and confident. I think Isle of Wight was too early to play a festival on TV in front of 70,000 people, after only having done two warm ups in two years. And I don’t think the setlist was right.
‘If we did it tomorrow, I think it’d be twice as good. So we’ll have to do that for Glastonbury.’
Kaiser Chiefs play Glastonbury this Sunday. Check back for the full interview tomorrow.
