Kings Of Leon Announce First Australian Tour In Over 10 Years

For the first time in over ten years, Kings Of Leon will embark on a headline tour of Australia. 

In support of their latest album, When You See Yourself, the US heavyweights will hit the country in March 2022, with shows confirmed in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. 

“As a band, we feed off the energy our audiences bring and the last time we toured Australia the atmosphere was electric," frontman Caleb Followill said.

"We can’t wait to get back down there and perform for you all again!”

Drummer Nathan Followill added, “We’re so looking forward to getting back out on the road with our touring family: we still have the same sound man and guitar tech that we had on our very first show and we also have cousins that are part of our crew.

"But, most of all, it’s the shared experience of performing in front of our fans from all corners of the globe, in person, that we miss.

"Let’s all come together and celebrate the power of live music.”

Following its release last month, When You See Yourself debuted on the ARIA Albums chart at #1, gifting the Nashville outfit their fourth local top-charting album. 

Tickets for the tour go on sale from midday local time on Friday 30 April. Check out theGuide for more details.

Kings Of Leon's Jared Followill joined a recent episode of The Green Room With Neil Griffiths podcast to promote When You See Yourself, saying the new album is "very much where we need to be" following some tension in the band a few years back.
