Kaiser Chiefs Isle Of Wight Show Jeopardised By Fuel Strikes

Kaiser Chiefs will headline tonight's Isle of Wight Festival with borrowed equipment after their tour crew became stuck in fuel protest in Spain.

Lorry drivers are currently protesting in the country over the rising price of fuel.

The band's instruments and staging equipment, including lights, are still stranded in the country, according to reports.

Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson said that the band will preview tracks from their third album at tonight's show.

As previously reported on Gigwise, the band are currently recording the album with Mark Ronson.

Sex Pistols and The Police will headline the remaining nights of the festival. For all the latest information, check out our new look Festival Guide.
