Kings Of Leon’s 2026 UK and Ireland tour dates are:

JUNE 
29 – Belsonic, Belfast

JULY
01 – Thomond Park Stadium, Limerick
03 – Bellahouston Park, Glasgow
04 – Co-op Live, Manchester
06 – First Direct Bank Arena, Leeds

Following this run of shows, Kings Of Leon will headline Mad Cool 2026 in Madrid alongside the likes of Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine and Pulp. Next month, they’ll play two New Year’s Eve concerts in Las Vegas.

The band recently released a new four-song EP, ‘EP #2’, which followed on from their 2024 ninth album ‘Can We Please Have Fun’. In a three-star review of the latter, NME wrote: “This is easily KOL’s most promising, liberated record for over a decade but still surprisingly restrained in places. Can they have fun? Yes it appears, in places, but they could have had a whole lot more.”

Over the summer, the Followills shared the single ‘We’re Onto Something’, with guest vocals from Zach Bryan, having also contributed to his song ‘Bowery’.

Meanwhile, Kings Of Leon have revealed that they’ve written a Christmas song, but warned “it might just be too Christmassy” to release.
