Kings of Leon are set to release a live edition of their upcoming album that features recordings of their 2023 shows in Wrexham, Wales. The Can We Please Have Fun (Live in Wrexham Edition) will be available in a limited edition 2CD form and as a dual colour cassette. The album’s ninth offering is due out on May 10 and is also available for pre-order. The bonus live tracks of seven songs will include Crawl, King of the Rodeo, Revelry, On Call, Find Me, Pyro and Cold Desert.
Owners of Wrexham football club Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney starred in a comedy video for St. David’s Day to promote the band’s 2023 shows at the Racecourse Ground stadium. The pair introduced a “traditional Welsh song” before transitioning to a clip of Kings of Leon’s Use Somebody. Kings of Leon will embark on a UK/Ireland tour and North American tour later this year, including a headline performance at BST Hyde Park 2024 in London.
Kid Harpoon, a new collaborator, produced the album, succeeding their previous album releases. The band’s lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Caleb Followill, stated in a press release that he felt “completely fulfilled” with the record and that it was the most enjoyable one he has ever been a part of.
