Million selling BRIT Award winners the Kaiser Chiefs have been confirmed as the headline act for this year’s ‘Triumph Live’ festival, a three-day celebration for fans of the iconic motorcycle brand.
The band will take to the stage on Saturday September 1, 2012 to round off a packed day of entertainment, track action and live music. The event, which is being held at Mallory Park Circuit, Leicestershire, 31 August – 2 September 2012 celebrates 110 years of the British motorcycle manufacturer’s history and is open to riders of all marques, music fans and families alike.
Visitors to the festival, which is expected to attract up to 15,000 fans, will be treated to a live set from the multi-award winning Kaiser Chiefs, featuring tracks from their latest album ‘The Future is Medieval’, as well as some of their old favorites such as ‘Ruby’, ‘I Predict a Riot’ and ‘Oh My God’.
Fans of the Triumph brand, the Kaiser Chiefs are originally from Leeds and will be taking time out of their very busy tour schedule to perform at Triumph Live.
Given the huge success of the inaugural Triumph Live event in 2010, the Hinckley-based manufacturer has extended the celebration from one to three days to include live bands; stunt riding shows; championship racing from the Triumph Triple Challenge race series; factory tours; road, track and off-road demo rides; plus a host of other displays and attractions.
Visitors will be able to view the latest range of Triumph motorcycles together with a selection of some of the UK’s best customised Triumphs. Key bikes from Triumph’s history will also be on display, as part of a unique exhibition exploring the 110 year anniversary, while those looking to kit themselves out with top quality riding apparel need look no further than the Triumph Clothing Megastore, where there will be a host of bargains waiting to be snapped up.
UK general manager of Triumph Motorcycles, Guy Masters, said: “We are over the moon that the Kaiser Chiefs will be performing at Triumph Live this year. The guys have an amazing reputation as one of the best live bands in the UK and are sure to put on a great show for the fans. We were bowled over by the reaction to the 2010 event and we are determined to make 2012 an even better weekend of entertainment for riders, music lovers and their families alike.”
