Event Details

Leeds legends and one of Britain’s most treasured bands, the multi-award-winning Kaiser Chiefs have announced a nationwide arena tour for November 2022 with live favourites The Fratellis and The Sherlocks .

On the announcement, Kaiser Chiefs said: “It’s been a while but we’re going on tour in November and can’t wait to see you all again. We’re looking forward to putting on a big KC show. See you there!"

Formed in Leeds in 2000, Kaiser Chiefs are one of the leading bands of their generation. Fronted by the magnetic Ricky Wilson with Simon Rix on bass, Andrew ‘Whitey’ White on guitar, Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines on keyboards and drummer Vijay Mistry, the band have been Mercury nominated for their debut album, ‘Employment’ and went on to win three BRIT awards, an Ivor Novello award for Album of the Year, and have sold over 8 million albums worldwide.

Kaiser Chiefs have solidly made their mark as heroes within the British music scene, with absolutely no sign of them slowing down. The band have released seven studio albums to date including chart toppers, ‘Yours Truly, Angry Mob’ and ‘Education, Education, Education & War’ plus their much praised 2019 and top 3 album ‘Duck’. Watch this space for new music to come. Kaiser Chiefs have released multiple top ten singles including the infamous number 1 hit ‘Ruby’ and anthems such as ‘Oh My God’, ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Everyday I Love You Less and Less’, and ‘Never Miss A Beat’. 

Glaswegian trio The Fratellis will also perform, following a rollercoaster year in 2021 which saw them unleash a new album alongside a barrage of singles and collaborations, before rounding the year off by winning the prestigious King Tut’s Songwriting Award at the Scottish Music Awards. They’ll perform songs from their new album, ‘Half Drunk Under a Full Moon’ as well as fan-favourites and indie anthems such as ‘Chelsea Dagger’.

Kaiser Chiefs’ Yorkshire neighbours The Sherlocks will open each night, completing a star-studded line-up. The Sheffield quartet have become one of the most exciting live bands in the UK. Selling out tours across the nation, they have also achieved chart success with two UK Top 10 albums.

As some of the most successful British guitar bands, their live shows are not to be missed. Each band are masters of their craft with setlists packed with hits and an unrivaled energy, nothing less than a ‘reyt good time’.

The terrible original names of famous bands, including kaiser chiefs:, stereophonics - tragic love company.

Members of various bands in their hometown of Cwmaman in the late eighties and early nineties, Kelly Jones, Stuart Cable and Richard Jones eventually became a trio in 1992 and started gigging as Tragic Love Company. The moniker was taken from the name of three of their favourite bands at the time; the Tragically Hip, Mother Love Bone and Bad Company. After they recorded an early demo of their seminal anthem 'A Thousand Trees', local promoter Wayne Coleman booked them to play a series of shows across South Wales on the provision they changed their name. Late-great drummer Stuart Cable got the final name from the 'Falcon Stereophonic' gramophone.

The Stone Roses - The Angry Young Teddy Bears

According to producer John Leckie, who helmed The Stone Roses' seminal self-titled 1989 debut album, the band almost called themselves The Angry Young Teddy Bears. "That's ('The Angry Young Teddy Bears') what the Roses were thinking of calling themselves when I met them," Leckie told Q Magazine in 2016. "It sort of suits them in a funny way. The thing with the Roses is that even though there is a punk heritage, they're hippies. Ian especially. It sounds corny, but there's a lot of love there, and you don't really get that with other Manchester bands." They ultimately opted for The Stone Roses and the rest, they say, is history.

Kaiser Chiefs – Runston Parva

When Nick Hodgson, Andrew White and Ricky Wilson formed the band in 1996, they took their bizarre Runston Parva moniker from the name of a small East Yorkshire hamlet called Ruston Parva. With Nick Baines and Simon Rix later in their ranks, they dumped the 'Runston' and they were signed up to the Beggars Banquet Records subsidiary label Mantra Records. However, despite four single releases, Parva were left label-less when Mantra folded in 2003 and their album '22' went unreleased. Fed up with their bad luck, they renamed themselves Kaiser Chiefs after the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs.

Muse – Rocket Baby Dolls

When frontman Matt Bellamy and drummer Dominic Howard's former band Gothic Plague (surprisingly not a death metal group) split following a series of rifts, they enlisted new bassist Chris Wolstenholme and changed their name to Rocket Baby Dolls. Soon realising it was woeful, after just one gig – their triumphant battle of bands performance at Broadmeadow Sports Centre in Teignmouth in 1994 – they switched it for Muse.

Goo Goo Dolls – The Sex Maggots

Originally a covers band, Goo Goo Dolls were known as the Sex Maggots when they were gigging around Buffalo, New York in 1986. However, they were reportedly forced to find a new moniker when a local promoter refused to put their band name on his marquee. They took their name from a toy called a Goo Goo Doll that they stumbled across in an advert in True Detective magazine. Singer Johnny Rzeznik has since quipped: "It's the best we came up with, and for some reason it stuck. If I had five more minutes, I definitely would have picked a better name."

Coldplay - Starfish

When future Coldplay frontman Chris Martin met Welsh guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London in 1996, the musical kindred spirits formed a group called Pectoralz. With bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion joining their ranks the following year, they changed their name to Starfish. The band performed their debut show at the now closed Laurel Tree pub in Camden in January 1998 as Starfish and had a number of equally terribly titled songs including the cringey 'Ode to Deoderant'. Several weeks later they changed their name to Coldplay after a good chum called Tim Crompton kindly agreed they could nick the moniker of his own group.

Elbow - Mr Soft

Formed in Bury in 1990, Guy Garvey, Mark Potter, Richard Jupp and bassist Pete Turner called themselves Mr. Soft in homage to the character in the Trebor Softmints advert in the late eighties that was soundtracked by Cockney Rebel's song of the same name, 'Mr. Soft'. Soon shortened to just Soft, the band redubbed themselves Elbow in 1997 and took inspiration from the BBC TV drama The Singing Detective where a character called Philip Marlow calls the word "elbow" as the prettiest word in the English language.

Pearl Jam – Mookie Blaylock

Keen aficionados of the legendary New York Jets basketball player Mookie Blaylock, Eddie Vedder and co. decided to name their band in his honour. After playing a series of shows as Mookie Blaylock, they renamed themselves Pearl Jam in October '90 after signing to Epic Records. The origins of the name are somewhat cloudy, related either to Eddie Vedder's great grandmother Pearl / seeing Neil Young "jam" live / a naughty euphemism, depending on who you talk to... Mookie himself is said to be a big fan of Pearl Jam's music.

Nirvana – Pen Cap Chew

Previously a member of the delightfully named Fecal Matter – aka Brown Towel – Kurt Cobain already had a history of hilariously bad band names before starting his new outfit with Krist Novoselic. After trialling a few dodgy names including Skid Row, Ted Ed Fred and, most notably, Pen Cap Chew, they had a eureka moment and settled on Nirvana. Kurt told Rolling Stone in 1992: "I wanted a name that was kind of beautiful or nice and pretty instead of a mean, raunchy punk name like the Angry Samoans." A superb choice.

Radiohead – On A Friday

Formed while students at Abingdon School, Oxfordshire in 1985, Thom Yorke, Philip Selway, Ed O'Brien, Johnny Greenwood and Colin Greenwood called themselves On A Friday in reference to the rehearsal day in their school's music room. The name stuck for six years until they signed a six-album deal with EMI Records in 1991 and the label requested they ditched it. They opted for Radiohead after the 1986 Talking Heads song 'Radio Head'.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem

Founded at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles in 1983, Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak, Flea and Jack Irons gave themselves the flabbergasting name Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. According to Kiedis, the name was intended to reflect the "majestic and chaotic" nature of the band. After two shows as Tony Flow… in November of '83 the group opted for the comparatively normal moniker Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Golliwogs

Originally named The Blue Velvets, when the band recorded some tracks for Fantasy Records in 1964, label co-owner Max Reiss decided to change it to The Golliwogs after the minstrel doll of the same name. Late rhythm guitarist Tom Fogarty said: "I think, at least to Max anyway, 'Golliwogs' sounded sort of British. We always hated the name but Max owned the label and we were new and wanted very much to make records, so we went along with things." Three years later the name was thankfully dropped.

Nickelback – Village Idiots

When the young Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and former drummer Brandon Kroeger formed a covers band in the early 1990s largely pilfering from Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Megadeth's back catalogue, they dubbed themselves the Village Idiots. Realising it would make them a laughingstock on the bigger stage, they later changed it to Nickelback in reference to the nickel in change Mike often gave his customers while working at Starbucks – "Here's your nickel back."

Black Sabbath – The Polka Tulk Blues Band

It's almost impossible to think of a more inappropriate band name as The Polka Tulk Blues Band to fit with Sabbath's crushing heavy metal sounds. Fortunately, they saw sense and abandoned the name in the late 60s with a scathing Iommi telling Ozzy: "Every time I hear it, all I can picture is you, with your trousers around your ankles, taking a f***ing dump. It's crap." Black Sabbath was inspired by three things - the Boris Karloff film of the same name, a dark vision bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler once had, and the work of occult novelist Dennis Wheatley.

Snow Patrol – Shrug

Four years before the formation of Snow Patrol, singer Gary Lightbody and bassist Mark McClelland along with drummer Michael Morrison formed the rather indifferent monikered band Shrug. They self-released the brilliantly titled demo 'The Yogurt vs Yogurt Debate' in 1994 and changed their name to Polarbear in 1996 after discovering there was already an American band called Shrug. Following an EP called 'Starfighter Pilot' in 1997 and the exit of Morrison, the band morphed into Snow Patrol the following year.

KISS – Wicked Lester

Binning their Rainbow moniker when they discovered there was already another band with the same name, in 1971 the group renamed themselves Wicked Lester. During their brief existence the folk/pop/rock group played in public just twice before Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley decided to delve into rock and roll and recruit new members. With Ace Frehley on board by Christmas '72 they changed their name to KISS and played their first live show a month later.

Van Halen – Rat Salad

Van Halen originally called themselves Genesis until they found out a certain British progressive rock band shared then name. The band then redubbed themselves Mammoth… only to discover that was being used too! Still predominately a covers band, the Van Halen brothers toyed with Rat Salad (after the Black Sabbath song) but Dave Lee Roth countered with their surname. Originally worried about it sounding self-absorbed, the whole band eventually agreed to adopt it.

Creed – Naked Toddler

The astonishingly atrocious and inappropriate band name was suggested by guitarist Mark Tremonti in the mid-nineties after he read a story in the press about an abducted child. Unable to settle on a suitable band name at the time, they often performed under a name taken from the headlines in that day's newspaper. Naively adopting Naked Toddler for one show at a club called Yanni's, Scott Stapp revealed in his 2012 autobiography that it was rightfully met with indignation. "The name didn't go over well. Girls hated it and said it made them think of paedophilia. They had a point." We couldn't have put it better ourselves…

U2 - Feedback/The Hype

When drummer Larry Mullen posted a notice looking for band members at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, the resulting group were called The Larry Mullen Band "for about ten minutes" before Bono swept aside the idea. They then opted for Feedback, after the screeching sound that came out of their amps, only to switch it for the decidedly pop band-esque name The Hype in 1977. Eventually they settled on U2 for its "ambiguity and open-ended interpretations."

Blur – Seymour

Formed from the ashes of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Alex James' previous group Circus, the band called themselves Seymour in December 1988 after J. D. Salinger's 1963 novella 'Seymour: An Introduction'. When they were signed to Food Records in 1990, the imprint wisely rejected the terrible name and the band decided on Blur after drawing up a list of alternatives.

Simon and Garfunkel – Tom & Jerry

When they were just 15 years old in 1956, the fresh-faced Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel assumed the name Tom & Jerry seemingly in reference to the hit Hanna and Barbera cartoon of the same name. Simon even dubbed himself Tom Graph and Garfunkel took on the name Jerry Landis. The pair scored a minor hit called 'Hello Schoolgirl' before going their separate ways. In 1964 they reconvened as a duo and decided to use their real names to stay "true" to themselves.

Linkin Park – Xero

Formed by high school chums Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson in 1996, with Joe Hahn and singer Mark Wakefield recruited later that year, Linkin Park were somewhat regrettably originally known as Xero - a name that sounds more like a brand of photocopier than a band. After recording a self-titled EP, Wakefield quit the group when tensions grew when they failed to secure a record deal. Xero recruited Arizona vocalist Chester Bennington in 1999 and they changed their name to Hybrid Theory before eventually settling on Linkin Park in homage to Santa Monica's Lincoln Park.

Pink Floyd – Screaming Abdabs

Pink Floyd were formed from the ashes of a band that had a series of bizarre transitory names. First called Sigma 6 (there were six members including Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason), in 1964 they adopted a series of short-lived but gloriously ridiculous names including Leonard's Lodgers, the Meggadeaths and the Screaming Abdabs. A year later Syd Barratt coined Pink Floyd after finding inspiration from the Piedmont blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

'Miracles do happen, just not for Leeds United'

• Published 3 May 2024

A win at Loftus Road last Friday would have put Leeds in the driving seat for automatic promotion on Saturday. Instead, we registered our worst defeat so far under Daniel Farke, losing 4-0 to relegation-threatened QPR. This is the Leeds United I fell in love with.

With Leicester having won the league and Ipswich now just a point away from securing second place, it is almost impossible for Leeds to achieve anything more than a play-off spot. If we beat Southampton and Ipswich lose, we would be promoted on goal difference, which seems practical until you acknowledge that Ipswich's opponent is all-but relegated Huddersfield Town - a team that spent most of their pre-season in the pub or playing golf, as revealed by their manager Andre Breitenreiter earlier this week.

Despite Leeds not being in contention for the title until March when Leicester had forfeited a 17-point lead, some of their celebrations this week have bizarrely revolved around us. Following many wins since 2022, "I Predict A Riot" by the Kaiser Chiefs has often echoed around Elland Road at full-time. The 3-1 win against Leicester in February was no exception, and yet for some reason some of their players, staff and fans persist that it was specifically catered to them - singing it mockingly all week and changing the words to "Leeds are in the play-offs".

We need a miracle on Saturday, and miracles do happen, just not for Leeds United.

Given the success enjoyed by the Kaiser Chiefs over the years some might be surprised to learn the band still meet and rehearse in Leeds.

Ricky Wilson, 44, and his bandmates have three BRIT awards, an Ivor Novello award for Album of the Year and have sold over 8m albums worldwide. But when they are active they meet at Old Chapel Music Studios in Holbeck - this is where the band invited LeedsLive to discuss their huge upcoming arena tour.

The studio is referred to as the "base of the Kaiser Chiefs". At the Old Chapel, there’s even a special chair reserved for lead singer Ricky.

“We’ve been in this building for over 20 years. This very chair, I’ve sat in for that amount of time,” joked Ricky.

“It nearly got thrown out, which I was devastated about.”

The Kaisers, who came to fame with debut album Employment, in 2005, are one of this generation’s best-known bands with a string of hits to their name. Undisputed calling cards include Ruby, I Predict a Riot and Oh My God with those and more all prompting raucous singalongs during gigs.

Fronted by the Ricky there’s also Simon Rix on bass, Andrew ‘Whitey’ White on guitar, Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines on keyboards and drummer Vijay Mistry. Nick Hodgson was previously in Kaiser Chiefs before leaving in 2012.

Simon, who is known for putting together the setlists for the band’s live shows, told us about the importance of the Old Chapel to the band. Simon explained: “We were in this old building pre-smoking ban and then it was a smokey traditional style rehearsal room. Ruby was number one and we were getting here and we’d get set up and have a chat, do some songwriting and pack it all back in the cupboard.

“It was only 10 years or so ago we got our own room which we felt was important. We all, apart from Ricky who is showbiz, live in Leeds and this is the base of the Kaisers. Ricky is on exchange or something.”

Clearly, despite being a band together for 20 years the camaraderie between the bandmates still remains. Ricky, who has been a coach on The Voice and presented a number of radio shows, interjected: “I parachute in, f**k s**t up and then go again.”

Ahead of the band’s big arena tour , which will see them play Leeds First Direct Arena on Saturday, November 12, Ricky confirmed the band will be in the Holbeck studio working on new material. Ricky explained: “We are always looking towards new music - you don’t stop. It isn’t something you turn off and on. We are always doing something new and there will be something new for November.

“Hopefully, it will be finished. Booking a tour helps us into gear and you will hear something new before the show.”

The charismatic lead singer and his bandmates have seen the process of making music change dramatically over the last two decades. The instantaneous way we now tend to consume music is something Ricky favours.

He said: “Making music is a lot more flexible than it used to be. It used to be all about deadlines and hitting targets. Now you can do what you want when you want which suits us down to the ground because we are either very productive or very lazy. We haven’t hit the middle ground yet. We are inconsistent as we have been for the last 20 years. You don’t mess with the format.”

As most will know, Kaiser Chiefs are steeped in football folklore taking their name from South African club Kaizer Chiefs - inspired by the history of Leeds United icon Lucas Radebe. They are some of Leeds United’s most famous fans . Back in 2019, the band headlined a packed day of music performing to over 16,000 people at Elland Road to celebrate Leeds United’s centenary .

This is a memory which holds a special place in the musicians’ hearts. It saw football icon, and former Whites star, Chris Kamara introduce Kaiser Chiefs to the stage.

Bass player Simon said: “That show feels so long ago, like it was 10-years-ago, but I always think that show was really weird. We planned that show as a celebration of Leeds United and our album was going to be out - so it felt like a moment of celebration.

“What actually happened was Leeds didn’t get promoted and our album (Duck) didn’t come out until September. There was a brief ‘what’s the point of this gig?’ which then became obvious.

“The point was to cheer everybody up. We got on stage and it felt amazing. It was a celebration of Leeds and that triumph over adversity with everyone being a bit upset about not getting promoted.”

Simon, who like many Leeds United supporters was sad to see former manager Marcelo Bielsa recently leave the club , joked about the Kaisers’ role of inspiring Leeds United’s Premier League return under the adored Argentine. He said: “I’m giving us lots of credit here but that felt like the start of everything. Us and Bielsa, we were the most important people.”

Humour is an underlying theme throughout this launch for the band’s latest tour. When asked about the significance of a homecoming gig, Ricky asserted: “You don’t tend to worry about the show but you are more worried about auntie June saying she’s at entrance B3 talking to a man with a moustache who doesn’t know where the seat is. You are left there going ‘neither do I’.”

Kaiser Chiefs are most certainly Leeds’ band and it is evident that’s something the group are incredibly proud about but it doesn’t come without pressure. Simon said: “It is the hardest gig. For example, if you’re playing in Brighton, you’ll go there, have a nice time and play a show. But when we are in Leeds, it is one of the best gigs because of the crowd but you’ve got to sort out the guestlist, see your mum and dad."

Keyboard player Peanut added: “There’s this huge expectation we are going to arrive in a spaceship in Leeds. We want every gig on the tour to be great but equally when you come home to Leeds you know you’re home.

“I’m terrible for this but I think we should turn our phones off. We’d have a much better gig and tell people if you haven’t sorted out your guestlist, you’ve f**ked it.”

Last year, the band returned to playing live to crowds after the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to a halt for so long. One of the Kaiser Chiefs comeback performances was at The Piece Hall in Halifax .

Simon explained: “It was really nice to get back to playing. From being in this room or at Halifax Piece Hall, for us to play together and do what we enjoy doing. Halifax was about the third weekend we did after the first set of restrictions went down and it felt like everybody was desperate to have a good time.”

Peanut added: “We get good crowds anyways but you could feel it was an extra level up from everybody - us included. You walk out in front of the crowd and you’re feeling ‘there’s something extra special here’.”

To those catching the Kaisers in Leeds, later this year, they’ll be treated to all the big hits, a few new songs and possibly a rare airing of lesser-heard album tracks. Paying tribute to those in Leeds and across Yorkshire , who love the band, said: “We can’t do it without you and it would be a really empty experience without you there. Any gig is a thank you to the support the fans give us.”

Finishing on a Joke, Ricky, in deadpan-style, quipped: “We probably know 75 per cent of the audience (coming to the Leeds show) anyways. So, if there’s a message for them it is ‘probably don’t ring us after 5pm’.”

Chiefs Offseason Schedule: What's Next for KC After 2024 NFL Draft?

With the draft in the books, here's what the Chiefs have to look forward to for the rest of the offseason.

• Author: Jordan Foote

In this story:

The 2024 NFL Draft is officially a thing of the past, and the Kansas City Chiefs will be putting pen to paper with their draftees as soon as possible. In the meantime, it's never a bad idea to consider what's in store for the reigning back-to-back champs.

The month of May is a busy one for all NFL clubs, even as the "down period" of the offseason sets in. May and June are notorious for limited activity outside of a minor second wave for free agency. As teams get ready for the ensuing season, workouts will ramp up and clubs eventually set their sights on July's training camp stretch.

What does Kansas City have coming down the pike? Let's take a look.

May: Option deadline, rookie minicamp, schedule release, OTAs begin

The final deadline for all 32 teams to pick up players' fifth-year options is May 2 . The Chiefs don't have to worry about that, however, as they didn't have a first-round pick back in 2021. Edit: Kadarius Toney, who was acquired via trade in 2022, did have a fifth-year option but it was declined.

Now that the draft has passed and undrafted free agent signings are rolling in , invites to rookie minicamp are also being sent out. Teams have the option of choosing between May 3-6 or May 10-13 for that. Around this time, the 2024 NFL regular season schedule is also expected to be released. The league has confirmed a May launch period, although no specific date has been set as of the publishing of this article.

Organized team activities, or OTAs, also begin for the Chiefs in May. This commences Phase Three of the offseason program with 7-on-7, 9-on-9 and 11-on-11 drills being permitted (no live contact). Kansas City's first two sets of OTA dates are on May 20-22 and May 28-30 .

June: OTAs continue, mandatory Chiefs minicamp

OTAs pick right back up to start the month of June, as Kansas City is back for workouts from June 4-7 to round out its 10-day allotted period. At the end of OTAs, there will be no shortage of buzz surrounding players who are either new to the team or are seeking bounce-back efforts in 2024-25.

Under Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, all 32 teams can hold one mandatory veteran minicamp during the offseason. This must take place during Phase Three of the program. For Kansas City, the mandatory minicamp dates will be from June 11-13 . Last offseason, fines for missing mandatory minicamp were $16,459 for day one, $32,920 for day two and $49,374 for day three.

July: Training camp kicks off

Kansas City doesn't have anyone playing under the franchise tag this year, so the typical mid-July cutoff for the negotiating window won't apply to them.

Chiefs training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, MO, is back for another year on campus. With that said, exact dates and times for practices haven't been set just yet. Last summer, July 23 was the first practice open to the public for a team autograph session.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.
