Reflecting on the life-changing events around Employment, the band said: “20 years ago, a brand-new song by a brand-new band was released. ‘I Predict A Riot’ was the start of something really special for some musicians from Leeds. And the album that followed, ‘Employment’, changed our lives and has soundtracked the lives of millions of others since 2005.

“In 2025, we are saluting 20 years of that album, and everyone is invited. Come celebrate the 2000s, loving everything less & less and stripey blazers taking over the world.”
