Kings of Leon Announce Aussie Tour

After topping the charts yet again with the release of their latest album Come Around Sundown, Kings of Leon are coming to Australia to say thanks for the support.

Last time the lads were here the shows sold out in minutes. While the larger venues this time around should prevent that, if you want to get good seats I’d get your tickets when they go on sale on December 6.

Kings of Leon Announce Aussie Tour

Aussies sent Kings of Leon’s new album Only by the Night and massive single “Sex on Fire” to the top of the charts, and now the Nashville rockers are looking to give back. They’ll say thanks to their local fans when they visit in March.

The Kings are regular visitors to our shores, but this will be the first time we’ve seen them as headliners. And if the international shows are any indication, Aussie fans are in for a good time.

“The mysterious, evocative lyrics, tight, searing guitar interplay and pounding rhythm section kept the crowd supercharged,” gushed The Seattle Times after they recently performed in Washington.

If you want to see what the Kings of Leon can do, make sure you pick up your tickets when they go on sale on November 24. But take note kids: while the shows are all ages events, no one under 16 will be permitted in the standing areas.

Kings of Leon Headline Falls Festival

Organisers of The Falls Festival have announced a killer line-up for their New Year’s Eve festivities, headlined by U.S. rockers Kings of Leon. The band’s drummer, Nathan Followill, said he’s looking forward to playing the Victorian and Tasmanian shows.

“We hear the Falls Festival is amazing,” he told The Age. “We’ve only ever been out for the Big Day Out, and that’s like a rock ‘n’ roll summer camp.”

The Kings will join the Midnight Juggernauts, Groove Armada, Paul Kelly, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Waifs and more at the outdoor event.
