Kings of Leon Tickets for UK Tour 2011

Kings of Leon are an American rock band that formed in Nashville, Tennessee, United States in 1999, consisting of brothers Anthony Caleb Followill (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ivan Nathan Followill (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Michael Jared Followill (bass guitar, backing vocals), with their cousin Cameron Matthew Followill (lead guitar, backing vocals). Each member of the family group is known by his middle name (second given name) as opposed to his first given name.



The three Followill brothers spent much of their youth traveling around the Southern United States with their father, Ivan "Leon" Followill, an itinerant United Pentecostal Church preacher. Kings of Leon was formed when Cousin Matthew and younger brother Jared were asked to join. They named themselves Kings of Leon in honor of Nathan, Caleb, and Jared's father (Matthew's uncle) and grandfather, who were both named Leon.



Kings of Leon's early music was an upbeat blend of southern rock and blues influences but the band has gradually expanded their sound to include a variety of genres and a more alternative rock or indie rock sound. Kings of Leon achieved initial success in the United Kingdom with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008. Kings of Leon’s third album Because of the Times also reached at the no 1 spot. The album itself was their first ever platinum-selling album in the United States. It was the best selling album of 2008 in Australia, being certified 8x Platinum. It also achieved 7x Platinum certification in the UK.



Kings of Leon’s first album Youth and Young Manhood was released in the UK in July 2003 and in the United States in August of the same year. The album was recorded between Sound City Studios in Los Angeles and Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, with producer Ethan Johns (son of producer Glyn Johns who most notably worked with the Rolling Stones and the Eagles).



Kings of Leon’s second album Aha Shake Heartbreak was released in the UK in October 2004 and in the United States in February 2005. Building on the southern-infused garage rock of their first album, the album broadened the band's domestic and international audience. The album was again produced by Angelo Petraglia and Ethan Johns.



In March 2006, Kings of Leon were back in the studio with their producers Angelo Petraglia and Ethan Johns, working on their third album. The band's third album was titled Because of the Times. The album showed a clear evolution from Kings of Leon's previous work, as the Kings of Leon's trademark dirty, southern-fried swagger was replaced with a more polished, clean-cut sound. The album was released on April 2, 2007 in the UK, and a day later in the United States, preceded by the single "On Call", which became a hit in Britain and Ireland. It debuted at number one in Britain and Ireland and entered the European charts at number twenty-five, selling approximately 70,000 copies in its first week of release.



After recording throughout most of 2008, "the all American long haired rockers" (The Times), released Kings of Leon’s fourth studio album Only by the Night on September 19, which subsequently entered the UK Albums Chart at number one and remained there for one more week. Only by the Night also had two single week stints as the UK #1 album in 2009, one directly after the BRIT Awards. In the United States, the album reached number 5 on the Billboard Charts.



Kings of Leon released its first DVD, Live at the O2 London, England, on November 10, 2009. It was later released on Blu-ray Disc on November 24, 2009.The footage was filmed in London's O2 Arena on June 30, 2009, when the band performed a 22-song set in front of a sold-out crowd of over 18,000 fans.



In May 2010, Nathan Followill reported that the band had been recording in New York City since March 2010, and that, to their surprise, the tracks were coming out "chilled out", "beach-y" and more like their Youth and Young Manhood sound. Kings of Leon fifth album is called "Come Around Sundown" and was released on October 18, 2010 in the UK, and October 19, 2010 in the U.S. It was recorded in Nashville as well as New York between February and June 2010 with Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King once more at the helm. In June 2010, Kings of Leon embarked on a tour visiting over 50 cities in North America and Europe. The tour dates ranged for 4 months, from June 5 to September 23. Following the release of Come Around Sundown in Australia, Kings of Leon released all the tracks from the new album on their website.
