Kings of Leon are bringing their stadium-sized anthems back to the UK next summer, and honestly, it’s about time. The Tennessee brothers have just announced three massive shows for July 2026, hitting Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on the 3rd, Manchester’s Co-op Live on the 4th, and wrapping up at Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena on the 6th.
If you’ve been living under a rock for the past two decades, Kings of Leon are the band that took Southern rock grit and turned it into festival-headlining gold. We’re talking Download, Reading, Glastonbury, Coachella, and pretty much every Lollapalooza worth its name. Last year alone, they smashed their own attendance record with a fifth consecutive night at London’s Hyde Park, proving they’ve still got that pulling power.
The Followill family have been at this since 2003, churning out nine albums that have collectively shifted over 20 million copies worldwide. Their latest, Can We Please Have Fun, dropped this year, and they’ve just released a fresh EP with four new tracks to keep us hungry. They’ve also been collaborating with Zach Bryan lately, including a killer cover of Springsteen’s ‘Atlantic City’ featuring The Boss himself.
These UK dates feel like a proper homecoming for a band that’s always had a special relationship with British crowds. Whether you caught them in their raw, garage-rock Youth & Young Manhood days or you’re here for the arena-conquering anthems like ‘Sex on Fire’, these shows promise to be essential viewing.
