Kaiser Chiefs to Headline Great Estate Friday Night Later This Month
Kaiser Chiefs will headline the Great Estate festival on Friday night later this month, putting kaiser chiefs in one of the event’s top-billed slots at Scorrier House. The final tier of tickets launched this week ahead of next week’s event, so the bill is now set for anyone still deciding whether to go.
Scorrier House bill
Three headliners anchor the festival across the weekend: Kaiser Chiefs on Friday, Sophie Ellis-Bextor on Saturday and Skunk Anansie on next Sunday, May 31. That structure leaves the Great Estate with a clean three-night top line and gives each act a distinct night, instead of stacking the draw into one peak evening.
Other main acts listed for the festival include Simon Pegg, Chevy Metal, The Alive, Omega Nebula and the Undercover Hippy. For ticket buyers, that means the headliners are not the only names carrying the weekend; the supporting bill is broad enough to give the event more than one route to a crowd.
Skunk Anansie at 2025
Skunk Anansie’s return in 2025 arrives with the band still working on new music to follow the acclaimed recent singles “Piggy” and “This Means War.” Festival organisers said, “Skunk Anansie are currently working on new music to follow the band’s acclaimed recent singles ‘Piggy’ and ‘This Means War’.” They also said, “Their return in 2025 will showcase exactly why, over 30 years since their first performances, Skunk Anansie are one of the most powerful and exciting bands on the planet, both as recording artists and live performers.”
The band formed in 1994, headlined Glastonbury in 1999, disbanded in 2001 and reformed in 2009. That history gives the Great Estate line-up a veteran act with a long live track record, while Kaiser Chiefs land the Friday-night slot that usually carries the most immediate ticket urgency for weekend buyers.
Friday night crowd
The practical move for readers is simple: if Kaiser Chiefs are the reason to go, the Friday night placement is the one to target, and the final ticket tier is already out. With the bill spread across three headliners and Scorrier House as the setting, the weekend now reads less like a single-band draw and more like a full festival booking with a clear order of play.
