2010/6/30 - Kings Of Leon Biggest Headline Show in the UK Happening Today

Kings of Leon are happy to announce that they will be returning to the UK this summer to play their biggest ever UK headline show in London’s Hyde Park on Wednesday 30th June. Their fourth album Only By The Night has now sold in excess of 6.2 million worldwide and all four albums have achieved multi-platinum success in the UK.

Their previous tour of the UK included 4 sold-out shows at London’s 02 Arena, multiple nights at Manchester’s MEN Arena & headlining performances at the Reading & Leeds Festivals, all of which sold out in a matter of minutes. Only By The Night has remained fixed in the upper echelons of the sales chart for 72 weeks and counting, and is now certified 7 x Platinum with more than 2.3 million copies sold. It solidifies their incredible bond with UK audiences, who have long embraced Kings of Leon as one of the most important and loved bands of recent times.

Earlier this month Kings of Leon won a further three Grammy awards, which included the highly coveted ‘Record of The Year’ for “Use Somebody” & brought their haul to four in total for Only By The Night.

Speaking from his home in Nashville Tennessee, where the band are currently writing and preparing to record their fifth album, Jared Followill said "It's a great honor to be playing Hyde Park. It's something that a band can only dream of; to be put in the same category as the groups that have played before us is just unbelievable. Bring sun block and your earplugs".
