Leed's Britpop revivalists Kaiser Chiefs will be headlining NME's first ever US tour. The famed British music weekly has hosted club nights and tours around the UK and Ireland, and will be premiering a similar jaunt in the US this spring in an effort to promote British bands Stateside. NME's tour will be kicking off April 13 at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. More dates will be announced in January. Look for an NME showcase at this year's SXSW.
