The Enemy whip up a storm before Kaiser Chiefs in Leeds

The Enemy have given the final support performance of the day before Kaiser Chiefs take the stage at their homecoming show today (May 24).

As the sun began to set on Leeds United's Elland Road stadium, the Coventry three-piece tore through their hits at around 7.30pm (BST).

Just weeks after their own homecoming at Coventry's Ricoh Arena, the band gracefully accepted second billing, keeping between-song banter to a minimum. But the show was as intense as ever.

After the performance, Tom Clarke told NME.COM: "We've just been saying that's been one of my favourite shows we�ve ever played.

"There wasn�t a lot of pressure at the Ricoh, but there was no pressure tonight. It was just �come down to Leeds United, play a few tunes, it's quality. So it's been a really good day. I enjoyed the Young Knives earlier, I enjoyed Nash, and I'll enjoy the Kaisers as well.�

The Enemy played:

'It�s Not Okay'
'40 Days and 40 Nights'
'Pressure'
'Technodanceaphobic'
'Had Enough'
'Aggro'
'We�ll Live and Die In These Towns'
'This Song'
'Away From Here'
'Happy Birthday Jane'
'You�re Not Alone'

To get the latest news from the stadium, stay tuned to NME.COM all day.

Meanwhile if you're going to the gig, send your reviews, stories, pictures and videos to news@nme.com with Kaiser in the subject line and we will publish the best.

Uneasy Lies The Prince That Wears The Crown




Although a few box office analysts had predicted that The Chronicles of Narnia:
Prince Caspian would gross as much as $100 million over the weekend and the general
prediction was that it would do about $70-80 million, the film fell far short of
those predictions. According to studio estimates, it opened with $56.6 million. It was
the second week in a row that a big-budget film had failed to fulfill expectations
-- although Prince Caspian did not match the disastrous performance of last
week's Speed Racer, which opened with just $18.6 million. That film sold only $7.6
million in its second week and dropped to fourth place. Iron Man, which had
held the top spot for the previous two weeks, dropped to second place with $31.2
million, as it crossed the $200-million mark to finish the weekend with $222.5 million.
What Happens in Vegas slipped to third place with $13.9 million, to bring
its domestic total to $40.3 million.



The top ten films for the weekend, according to studio estimates compiled by Media
by Numbers:
1. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, $56.6 million;
2. Iron Man, $31.2 million; 3. What Happens in Vegas, $13.9 million;
4. Speed Racer, $7.6 million; 5. Baby Mama, $4.6 million; 6. Made
of Honor, $4.5 million; 7. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, $2.5 million; 8.
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantánamo Bay, $1.8 million; 9. The
Forbidden Kingdom, $1 million; 10. The Visitor, $687,000.
