Kings Of Leon have revealed additional tour dates set to take place in the UK and Ireland during the summer of 2024. These newly-announced concerts are ahead of the band’s album ‘Can We Please Have Fun’, which was revealed on February 22nd alongside their single ‘Mustang’.
The LP is due to be released on May 10th and follows on from 2021’s ‘When You See Yourself’. Kings Of Leon also revealed live shows later this year, which feature a headline slot at the 2024 edition of BST Hyde Park in London alongside acts such as Paolo Nutini and The Vaccines.
Now, the band has revealed more tour dates to follow at the end of June. The opening night will be held at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on June 20th. From there, the band sets off for two more performances before their appearance at the London festival: one at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena and one at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol.
After their slot at BST Hyde Park, Kings Of Leon will continue their tour with further shows set in Glasgow, Dublin, Nottingham, and Manchester. During this time, the band will also perform as headliners for the F1 British Grand Prix opening concert at Silverstone on July 4th.

Band members expressed their enthusiasm for their upcoming album, as well. This new LP features Caleb Followill and co. diving deeper into experimentation with their sound, as the title suggests.
Recorded in the Dark Horse Studio, ‘Can We Please Have Fun’ was produced with new partner Kid Harpoon. “It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been part of,” Caleb said. Nathan Followill added, “It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable…I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11.
