KINGS OF LEON HIT THE ROAD THIS FALL
SPECIAL GUEST BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB
APPEARANCES AT LOLLAPALOOZA FESTIVAL, LA'S GREEK THEATRE & NYC' S RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL CONFIRMED
New York, NY -- Kings of Leon will launch the second leg of their nationwide U.S. tour this fall with LA rock trio and RCA Records label-mates Black Rebel Motorcycle Club as their very special guests. The Tennessee-based Kings of Leon -- brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill, and their first cousin Matthew -- are touring in support of their critically acclaimed third album Because Of The Times, which was released by RCA Records on April 3rd While on tour, Kings of Leon will make a special stop at the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago on August 5th and headline New York City's prestigious Radio City Music Hall on September 19th. Currently confirmed tour dates are listed below with more announcements to follow. Coming off their sold out spring tour, which was bookended by main stage appearances at April's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and June's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Kings of Leon deliver "a rock-affirming thrill ride," as one
critic put it. Another reviewer has praised them for developing "a muscular, sophisticated sound to go along with their increasingly textured songwriting." Indeed Because Of The Times, Kings of Leon's first album since 2004's breakthrough Aha Shake Heartbreak, is the Followills' most diverse collection yet, and represents a major leap forward both in songwriting and musical prowess. It has received glowing reviews from many major media outlets including Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Associated Press, Alternative Press, Filter, and Rolling Stone, which asks in its four-star review: "How good can the Kings of Leon get? On Because Of The Times, they've already gone further than anybody could have guessed."
