Kins Of Leon Announce Outdoor Summer Shows

• 29th Oct 2010

Kings of Leon have announced details 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 go on sale on Wednesday 3rd of November at 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 last week on release, 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
June 26th Edinburgh Murrayfield Stadium
