“London. The O2 at twenty. July 2, 2027,” the band wrote when announcing the concert on Instagram on Friday (October 2). Check out the post below.
Kings Of Leon join a growing line-up of artists taking part in The O2’s 20th anniversary celebrations. The arena opened in June 2007 and has since hosted more than 3,000 shows and welcomed over 100million visitors.
Other acts already confirmed for the anniversary programme include David Guetta, Jorja Smith, Maisie Peters and Sombr.
The newly announced show arrives ahead of the release of Kings Of Leon’s 10th studio album, ‘O My Beloved’, on November 6 via Love Tap Records.
The record follows 2024’s ‘Can We Please Have Fun’ and is described as one of the band’s most intimate and reflective releases, looking back over their families, childhoods and more than two decades together.
“We have already surpassed anything we ever imagined we could do, and we’ve built something that is so special,” Caleb Followill said when the album was announced.
“I thought, wouldn’t it be beautiful to make an album that is looking back on all of the things that we’ve done and appreciating how we got here.”
The band recently shared second single ‘Cold Blue Dawn’, accompanied by a lyric video made with The Weather Channel using satellite imagery from NASA’s Landsat programme. It followed lead track ‘My Whole World’.
Last month, Kings Of Leon also played an intimate 575-capacity show in Nashville to launch the ‘O My Beloved’ era, debuting ‘My Whole World’ live and bringing out Zach Bryan for ‘Bowery’.
‘Can We Please Have Fun’ received three stars from NME, which called it “easily KOL’s most promising, liberated record for over a decade”, albeit one that remained “surprisingly restrained in places”.
Speaking to NME around its release, Caleb said it was “the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of”, while drummer Nathan Followill added: “It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable.”
