BLACKBURN band New York Tourists will open for the Kaiser Chiefs at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre for a special homecoming show in May.

The Yorkshire date marks yet another major success for the rising indie rockers - Gary Taylor on vocals and guitar; Carl Rutherford on guitar; Adrian McKenzie on bass and drummer Joe Mooney.

Carl said: “We’ve played to some big crowds in the last few years at major festivals and we’ve worked hard at building a loyal following.

“We can’t wait to get on stage at Scarborough to support the Kaiser Chiefs.

“It’s going to be an amazing night in Yorkshire. It’s a homecoming gig for the Kaisers so we’ll certainly play our part in getting the crowd really going for what is going to be a great gig.”

NYT who released a new single - Feels So Good - last week have supported the likes of The View and Status Quo and have played festivals include Kendal Calling.

They will support the Kaiser Chiefs on Saturday, May 27. Tickets are now on sale from www.ticketmaster.co.uk (0844 844 0444) and www.scarboroughopenairtheatre.com
