Kings Of Leon Add Second Hyde Park Date

• 4th Nov 2010

Due to unprecedented demand Kings of Leon have added a second show in London’s Hyde Park on the 23rd June after their previously announced show on the 22nd June sold out this morning in minutes. The Hyde Park shows are part of a series of huge headline outdoor shows for 2011 that will see one of the country’s most adored bands perform in five UK cities this summer, including a return to London’s Hyde Park – the scene of last year’s triumphant headline performance to 65,000 fans. Tickets for the shows in Coventry, Sunderland, Manchester, London & Edinburgh went on sale this morning 9am.

Their highly acclaimed fifth album 'Come Around Sundown' became their third consecutive album to debut at #1 when it topped the UK album charts on release and remains atop the chart this week, claiming both the biggest week one sales of the year & the biggest ever first week digital sales along the way.

Like last years Hyde Park show, their forthcoming brace of December arena shows sold out in seconds and these new shows are set to be one of the highlights of next year’s live calendar. The dates are as follows:

Kings of Leon: Summer 2011
May 30th Coventry Ricoh Arena
June 17th Sunderland Stadium of Light
June 19th Manchester Lancashire County Cricket Ground
June 22nd London Hyde Park – SOLD OUT
