I saw them at V Festival 2010, they were awesome live. Love the new album, Come Around Sundown but love the old stuff too, not just a "Sex on Fire" fan. It was that song that got me into them but just love everything they do, slightly obsessed. I just think they do a wide variety of different sounding songs, all their albums don't all sound the same like some bands.

The Kings of Leon were without doubt the best band Ive seen live, and that includes seeing U2 last year at wembley stadium. I saw the Kings of Leon at the o2 arena in December, lucky to get tickets I guess as that was the show that became the video they released which I bought on DVD. I give them 5 out of 5, a great gig, tremendous band live in concert, totally recommend the Kings of Leon Tickets to anyone!

I saw the kings of leon live in Hyde park last year, it was the live gig of the summer. I was lucky to get tickets as the gig sold out in minutes. I think there were about 70,000 other kings of leon fans in the audience that night, and they rocked the park! I will be buying kings of leon o2 arena tickets as soon as they come available, thanks Seatwave for a great night out last time, and looking forward to another great Kings of Leon London gig!

If you’ve got Kings of Leon tickets, you’re no doubt enjoying all the headlines about them lately. They’ve been kings of the concert scene as well as kings of the current trends, with rave reviews from their performances around the UK.

The Kings of Leon are known for being a family band consisting of three brothers and a cousin, and drummer Nathan Followill recently spilled the beans about the rest of his family – the ones that aren’t global superstars with musical and vocal talents.

Speaking to the Winnipeg Free Press, Nathan revealed that the family outside the band haven’t changed their lifestyle or left their native Oklahoma since his cousins and he became famous. He said: “A decent portion of our family lives off the land up there. They build their own houses or caverns and stuff and they just live in there, live day to day.”

Bass player Jared Followill said the band members are proud of their roots. “We all grew up wanting to be cowboys so, yeah, I don’t mind being called a redneck.”

While most of the Followill family stays out of the limelight, you can find out more about the Kings themselves in Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon, a film documenting their lives outside the public eye. You can also still get Kings of Leon tickets to see them perform their latest songs and greatest hits.

Lucky fans who bought Kings of Leon tickets for their recent UK gigs have been raving about the formidable live spectacle the band has become renowned for. As their demand spreads all around the globe, the group’s touring schedule has become increasingly hectic  to keep their international legion of followers satisfied.

While British fans will have to wait patiently until the Kings’ next trip to Europe, the multi-million selling rock group only have a few days to themselves before setting off on tour again for a series of dates in the States and Canada.

Most of the tight-knit family band of brothers and cousins grew up together in the back of a car, touring around the southern states of America with their preacher father. In spite of their astronomical rise to success, the band still like to spend what little time they have away from the road, getting back to their simple roots.

In a recent interview with the National, lead guitarist Matt Followhill explained his fondness for getting out in the country to do some fishing: “If I’m off duty, then I’m fishing if I possibly can” he said.

But it won’t be long before the stadium sellout band will be off on the road again, delivering their powerful blend of blues and rock to delighted audiences all over the world. Even if they enjoy the quieter pleasures in life, anyone with Kings of Leon tickets also knows that they still like to rock out with the best of them.

After sensational performances in the UK, Kings of Leon took time off from their European concert tour to play a round of golf in Scotland. Kings of Leon tickets are still available for their next shows in Denmark and Belgium before they head back to the United States.

The four famous members of the American rock band had a short holiday in St. Andrews, and they were seen at both the Old Course and the Kingsbarns Golf Links. It comes after a string of well-received performances all over the country, as well as the release of a tell-all documentary about their rise to stardom.

Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon is in cinemas now, and shows the struggles as well as the successes that the band has gone through in their 12-year career.

The Kings were in the press again after Beyonce’s memborable set at Glastonbury, where she covered Sex On Fire. The performance is already being called the highlight of her career, and the fact that Sex On Fire was part of it hints at the song being on its way to an all-time classic.

So, it’s no wonder that the four Followills needed a breather, and found solace on the peaceful Scottish greens before continuing with their tour. The band is already one of the hottest trends this summer, so make sure you don’t miss out! Get your Kings of Leon tickets today.

After their barrage of UK gigs, Nathan Followill of Kings of Leon opted for the strawberries and cream of Wimbledon rather than the rain and mud of Glastonbury.

On Friday 24 June, fresh from wowing audiences with Kings of Leon tickets, the drummer tweeted: “Good morning. Wimbledon bound and hoping 4 sunshine. I don’t think being a King of Leon allows me 2 sit in the Royal box but I’m gonna try.”

However, the royal rockers’ smash hit Sex on Fire was covered on Sunday evening by Beyonce at Glastonbury, who closed out the Somerset extravaganza as the main stage headliner with a dazzling set.

Adorned in wild rock-chick garments, the singer fused the band’s signature hit with Prince’s Beautiful Ones during her performance of her own track, Why Don’t You Love Me.

In other news, fans with Kings of Leon tickets would probably staunchly disagree, but the band believe that their new ‘rockumentary’, Talihina Sky, could make people “dislike them more.”

Bass player Jared Followill thinks the biopic could have a polarising effect: “I think if anything it will, y’know, give us a little bit more respect from people who maybe didn’t believe what they had read.”

Guitarist Matthew Followill added: “They’re either going to like us more, or dislike us even more.”

It won’t just be this movie that makes film-goers shaken not stirred, as the four-piece have revealed they could be persuaded to write a Bond theme. Lead singer Caleb told Vue Cinema: “I’ve always wanted to work with strings though so maybe yeah, that’ll be a good excuse.”

As the follow-up release to their hugely popular record Only By The Night, the Kings of Leon have created a new album that continues with their progressive sound, but includes so many different genres of music that it adds a great deal of diversity and intrigue.

Since Kings of Leon tickets are currently on sale as they tour venues across Europe, performing newer material as well as old favourites, it seems fitting to take a look at their latest album, Come Around Sundown.

From the outset, KoL bring in their heavy sound that is laden with bass drums, scratchy guitars, and rough yet soothing vocals. Singer Caleb Followill provides some awesome melodies that combine with dark lyrics and personal revelations – which all makes for a pretty intense listening experience.

A song like Mary is a great example of how their sound has broadened to include such an eclectic mix of musical influences. It takes a barber-shop like structure, and then adds a new-age guitar sound, making it a brilliantly inventive addition to the album.

The album’s lead single, Radioactive, is possibly the best song on the record. The guitar riffs are instantly memorable and the chorus has a pounding enthusiasm that is electric – this song is a prime example of why people are snapping up Kings of Leon tickets for this summer.

One of the most impressive aspects of Come Around Sundown is how the band have managed to stick to their guns, write songs on an individual basis, and create a collection of tunes worthy of any chart-topping band.

Following the release of their latest album, Come Around Sundown,  Kings of Leon tickets are currently on sale for the band’s European mini-tour.

The Kings have become one of the most exciting names in the rock industry and have widened their appeal to the mainstream in recent years as well. Many of their singles have performed extremely well in the charts, including: Sex on Fire, Use Somebody and Radioactive from their newest release.

The band hit huge commercial success after their album Only By The Night (2008) received both popular and critical acclaim, but they had already created a large cult following from their previous albums Because of the Times (2007), Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004) and Youth and Young Manhood (2003).

The four-piece from Tennessee gained initial popularity with their catchy single Molly’s Chambers. Now, anyone with Kings of Leon tickets for this year can hope to see an abundance of hits from all of these albums, spanning their impressive career.

The Kings of Leon have a very interesting sound – it mixes rough, raw, Southern music with a progressive and popular style. They are also a very eclectic band, creating songs that vary considerably, even within the same album. Their live sound is just as extraordinary, with a mix of crowd-pleasing anthems and intimate, soulful performances.

The band’s European tour has already proven to be one of the most exciting musical events of 2011, for both new fans and old. If you want to be a part of it, get your Kings of Leon tickets now from Seatwave!

Lucky Scottish fans who managed to bag themselves Kings of Leon tickets for the band’s recent gig at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium enjoyed a show packed with anthems and atmosphere.

Charming lead singer Caleb Followill buttered up the crowd with some well-timed sweet talk, declaring: “I don’t know what it is about Scotland, with you guys there’s no such thing as too much fun.”

Well accustomed now to huge arena venues and massive crowds, the Kings certainly know how to please an audience – and according to a reviewer for the Scotsman, the group received a rapturous reception:

“Put simply this was music for hard-partying to, and in this incredible arena the combination of a leathered crowd and one of the most popular rock ‘n’ roll bands of the day proved a combination that was too exciting to resist.”

It wasn’t all work and no play for the band, however. In their down time between shows on their European tour, they found the time to enjoy a round of golf at St Andrews, and were spotted at the famous Old Course, as well as nearby Kingsbarns. Nathan clearly enjoyed himself, as he subsequently took to Twitter to declare:

“Drum roll please…thank you to the wonderful people at Kingsbarns for the best golfing day of my life. Absolutely breath taking.”

Although the Followills are unfortunately done with the UK leg of their European tour, Kings of Leon tickets are still on sale for upcoming events in Denmark and Belgium.

On the crest of a wave from their rock-tastic gigs in London, Edinburgh and Sunderland, Kings of Leon tickets are currently on sale for the remainder of their international tour.

Whilst in Edinburgh, the band were present for the launch of their eye-opening biopic, Talihina Sky, at the Edinburgh Film Festival on June 25 – and the Tennessee rockers apparently think that the film could make people “dislike” them more.

Despite the demand for Kings of Leon tickets, they have been derided in some quarters as ‘sell-outs’ and accused of fabricating their tough upbringing in the USA. The group expect the candid footage to earn them more respect, while they are certain it will polarise opinion.

In an interview with BANG Showbiz, bass player Jared Followill said: “I think if anything it will, y’know, give us a little bit more respect from people who maybe didn’t believe what they had read.”

His cousin, guitarist Matthew Followill added: “They’re either going to like us more, or dislike us even more.”

Jared harbours optimism that the documentary can “validate” the views of their original fans and prove that stories of their underprivileged background were not a cynical ploy to sell records.

He elaborated: “I think it’s kind of like validation for people who believed us, but didn’t know completely. And there were a lot of people who didn’t believe us, especially in the beginning, because the press really romanticised it and they embellished some things, but seeing it, for themselves, I think this film allows people to finally see what everybody was talking about the entire time and see that we come from not the best beginnings.”

Get your Kings of Leon tickets now and see the best family band since the Von Trapp family singers (only these guys pack a whole lot more of a punch).

Founded back in 1999, the Kings of Leon’s unique alternative country sound quickly catapulted them into the ranks of global super stars. Now, the Followills are poised to join rock greats such as The Rolling Stones and U2, with the release of their ‘rockumentary’, Talihina Sky.

The film focuses on the band’s yearly trip to a week-long family reunion in Talihina, and illustrates how they went from living life as the sons and nephew of a Pentecostal minister to becoming rock greats. Much of the footage for the film even comes from deeply spiritual and moving church ceremonies.

“When you see the scenes of people with hands in the air, imagine that in a small, sweaty club with 250 people,” singer Caleb Followill said, speaking of the similarities between members of the church and the action of screaming fans in the front rows of their concerts.

Fans can now watch Talihina Sky at selected cinemas across the UK, for a limited time only. If you missed the Kings’ recent shows at London’s Hyde Park and the Sunderland Stadium of Light, you can still get Kings of Leon tickets for upcoming concerts in Denmark and Belgium.

Lucky fans with Kings of Leon tickets for the band’s recent string of concerts have been treated to typically epic rock ‘n’ roll shows, according to reviews – and with so many years of experience in the music industry behind them, the Kings now seem to be enshrined as bona fide rock stars.

Their new ‘rockumentary’ Talihina Sky gives an insight into the group’s history and delves into the more intimate aspects of the Followills’ lives. The film premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival yesterday evening (June 25) and all four band members were in attendance.

Nathan admitted that some of the scenes made difficult viewing material:  “It’s a pretty brutally honest look into the way we were raised and how we turned out to be after the band started. We were more worried about what our grandparents would think more than anything else, but kids – the ones that have seen it so far – seem to like it, so hopefully it’ll be just as successful here.”

He added: “We get to hide behind our instruments on stage. With this stuff, you’re pretty much exposed.”

The film is now being shown at selected cinemas across the UK for a limited time only. If you’d like to see the band live on stage, however, then you still have the chance to buy Kings of Leon tickets for their upcoming show at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium.

Normally they are nonchalant with a ‘too cool for school’ air – but even Caleb and co. concede that when they see celebrity fans like Daniel Radcliffe (star of Harry Potter) with Kings of Leon tickets, they get a buzz.

Although the band have an army of famous followers, including Kate Moss and Robert Pattinson to name a couple, apparently they don’t like to be told that there’s a big celebrity in the audience before going on-stage.

Drummer Nathan Followill said: “If someone big is coming they usually won’t tell us that’s someone’s coming because there’s nothing you can do, that can only make you more nervous.”

He continued: “But is has been fun to look side stage and see someone and be like holy s*** I didn’t know you were here!”

His brother Caleb chimed in: “That’s Daniel Radcliffe! Wow! Harry!”

Aside from celebs, members of the general public with Kings of Leon tickets were dazzled by the band’s latest rip-roaring gigs in Hyde Park. This Saturday, the group’s biopic, Talihina Sky, premieres at the Edinburgh Film Festival. The ‘warts and all’ documentary charts their astronomical rise to super stardom – but lead singer Caleb admits he’d be happy with success minus the fame.

He said: “Most of the fights in this movie are because we’re scared of the success that we’ve reached. I don’t love the fame. When we’re back home we go to Walmart and I wear overalls and stuff and nobody knows who we are and they don’t bug us.”

Kings of Leon tickets are available to buy and sell at Seatwave.

Their sex may be on fire, but apparently it’s also on tape. Frontman Caleb nonchalantly admitted that the band’s extra-curricular activities had been recorded and that they considered putting them in their new documentary Talihina Sky - but the tapes had gone missing!

Last night, fans with Kings of Leon tickets were treated to a legendary rock fest at Hyde Park. Prior to performing, Caleb disclosed information about the movies: “There’s a couple of sex tapes on one of the tapes that got stolen, so that would have made it a little more interesting.”

He continued: “But I guess when we’re dead and gone it will resurface. There was quite a bit we weren’t able to show (in the documentary) because we had our car broken into after we were making the first record. We’d documented every bit of it and they stole all the footage.”

With the thief yet to circulate the candid material, the super-group say the saucy shenanigans were shot eight years ago. “Whoever’s got the tapes really doesn’t know what they got” said drummer Nathan Followill.

It may not be X-rated, but enthusiasts with Kings of Leon tickets for upcoming gigs will be treated to a steamy show live in action. Whilst they’re busy touring at the moment, the lads are also preparing for the premiere of their ‘rockumentary’ Talihina Sky, at this weekend’s Edinburgh Film Festival.

The warts and all diary of their rise from playing in their hometown of Nashville, Tennessee to becoming global megastars, has Caleb feeling queasy: “It’s like watching a train wreck” he said.

Nathan, meanwhile, is resisting the sick bucket: “We don’t really hold anything back. Not many bands will show you the good, the bad, and the ugly.”

Fans with Kings of Leon tickets for last night’s gig at London’s Hyde Park were treated to a fantastic show, according to the Evening Standard. Although the weather was reportedly less than ideal, with plenty of mud, the sun did eventually come out.

Evening Standard reviewer André Paine described the gig as an “energetic performance, which made a joyous start to the capital’s festival season. It was something of a love-in between Kings of Leon and their British fans, who embraced the band long before Americans woke up to their talent.”

Apparently lead singer Caleb Followill was on top form too, bantering easily with the crowd between songs. He joked: “What a beautiful day, huh?” before adding that he was “already drunk”. The band is playing at Hyde Park again this evening, backed by support act and bona fide legend Paul Weller.

The Modfather, as he’s known, spoke about joining the Kings on their mini-tour ahead of the shows, promising: “They will be the only shows I’m doing for the rest of this year so we’ll make sure they are top.”

For anyone that couldn’t make it to Hyde Park yesterday evening or tonight, you can still catch the Followills on stage at an upcoming concert at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium on Sunday 26 June. Kings of Leon tickets are also currently on sale for international events in Denmark and Belgium, for truly dedicated UK fans that can stomach the air fare.

Now may just be the best time to buy Kings of Leon tickets, if reports of potential solo projects are to be believed.

The Kings of Leon may soon prove their talent individually as well as when performing together, according to a recent article in the Belfast Telegraph. Even though the band share much of the same family (three are brothers and one is a cousin), their musical tastes are fairly different.

Lead singer Caleb Followill said the group has to put these styles aside and find common ground when it comes to recording songs together. He says: “The things that you love that you’ve been working on, sometimes you have to put it on the back burner and you just know that one day it will be heard, but it might not be Kings Of Leon that’ll be putting it out.”

Caleb leaves things open as to whether that means writing songs for another performer or branching out to solo singing, so fans will just have to wait and see what’s to come from the band that’s taken the music world by storm.

Whether you’ve been a long-time fan of Kings of Leon as they found their feet in early albums Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak, or as they gained popularity with Because of the Times, or when they released their number-one, huge-seller Only by the Night, you’ve got to agree that there’s nothing like seeing them live!

Kings of Leon tickets are on sale now for their current tour. The band are in the UK at the moment, with shows taking place this month in both London and Edinburgh.

It’s officially festival season and lucky fans with Kings of Leon tickets were treated to a fantastic (albeit damp) display when the band took to the stage amid floods of rain at the Isle of Wight festival recently.

Music lovers will be hoping for better weather at the Glastonbury festival, which takes place between 22-26 June. Former Destiny’s Child diva and global superstar Beyoncé is the official headline act on the Pyramid stage on Sunday, and it seems that festival-goers could be in for a few surprises.

At a recent warm-up show in Nice, France, Beyoncé performed a string of covers, including Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Prince’s The Beautiful Ones and the Kings of Leon’s massive anthem Sex On Fire. Speaking to Billboard about her upcoming headline slot at Glastonbury, she said:

“This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there. Everyone who attends is really appreciative of music and is in such a good mood that entire weekend. I’m pumped just thinking about that huge audience and soaking up their energy.”

If Beyoncé is anywhere near as successful as hubby Jay-Z was in 2008, no doubt she’ll receive a fantastic reception from the crowds. Although the Kings of Leon aren’t playing at the iconic festival this year, fans can still catch them at a string of gigs over the summer. Kings of Leon tickets are currently on sale for upcoming shows at London’s Hyde Park and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium.

Kings of Leon tickets are available to buy and sell at Seatwave.

Kings of Leon tickets are now on sale and the Nashville rockers will be staging epic concerts in Manchester, London and Edinburgh over the summer – and with gigantic venues and awesome sound, the atmosphere should be electric.

In London, the Kings will be performing at Hyde Park, with support from the ‘modfather’ himself, Paul Weller. Also booked to play are White Lies and the Zac Brown Band.

Despite Jared Followill being the only single band member (the others are all married), they haven’t lost their sense of mischief. During their headline set at the recent Isle of Wight Festival, frontman Caleb joked to the crowd that he was only just coming to terms with his ‘job’ as a rock star:

“I’m trying to learn how to be a good front-man, I’m terrible at it,” he said on stage. “I’m about to turn 30 years old, and I’m starting to have fun doing this, man. I don’t know why it took me so long. I’ve had a lot of jobs before this… I was a porn star for a while – it didn’t work out.”

Such is their global stature, that Kings of Leon tickets are now like a souvenir of rock ‘n’ roll history. Another piece of memorabilia that will add to their legacy is their ‘rockumentary’, Talihina Sky. Named after one of their early songs, the European premiere of the film will take place at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on July 25th.

One of the most talked about modern rock bands, Kings of Leon, are due to tour the UK in the coming months. Kings of Leon tickets have already gone on sale and the tour is expected to be one of the musical highlights of the year.

KOL come from the American South, and their dirty, throwback-to-the-sixties sound garnered them a broad fanbase when they first emerged on the scene with their debut album Youth and Young Manhood in 2003.

It was with their fourth album, Only By The Night (2008) that their music was brought into the mainstream, and their popularity sky-rocketed. This success was largely due to the meteoric rise of their hit single Sex On Fire, which became one of the anthems of the year – and anyone with Kings of Leon tickets this year will undoubtedly be shouting out that chorus.

The Kings’ latest release has received a similar response and their first single Radioactive performed well in the UK charts, peaking at number 7 and cementing the band’s place in the modern music industry.

When KOL land, they will be playing shows in major cities across the UK, including Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Sunderland. The performances will be stadium-sized, so the crowd atmosphere is sure to be energetically enthusiastic, and the buzz will be electric.

With a repertoire of rock and roll tunes big enough to fill a festival, they are one band not to be missed! Kings of Leon tickets are available to buy and sell at Seatwave.

Kings of Leon tickets have been sensationally popular – particularly since the band headlined this year’s Coachella festival and were hailed as one of the event’s highlights. The band are about to embark on a huge US and UK tour, which takes in some very big outdoor venues.

The Kings performed at the Isle of Wight festival last weekend, which saw concert-goers drenched with unseasonable rain – although, by all accounts, everyone powered through and enjoyed it, with the help of wellies and anoraks.

On Friday (June 17) an army of fans will descend on Sunderland for the band’s gig at the Stadium of Light, which comes two weeks after Take That opened their Progress Live tour at the venue. City officials are already preparing for the floods of people that will be travelling into the city from all over the country – starting with extra transport.

Around 55,000 concert-goers are expected, and extra and later trains are being provided especially for the occasion. Richard McClean, managing director, of Metro Operator DBTW said:

“Knowing how busy the Metro system was during the Take That concerts, we have decided to provide additional and later trains again for the Kings of Leon concert. We are expecting high volumes of passengers as people choose the Metro to travel to the event.”

If you can’t make it to Sunderland, however, don’t despair. The band have a string of upcoming UK dates and Kings of Leon tickets are currently on sale for concerts in London’s Hyde Park and the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.

Kings of Leon tickets are selling like hot cakes, and it’s probably fair to say that the secret (or not-so-secret) dream of many female fans is that they’ll catch the eye of singleton bassist Jared Followill at a concert – preferably whilst the band are playing Use Somebody, for added effect.

Jared is the last remaining single guy in the group, as Caleb, Nathan and Matthew have all already tied the knot. Of course, this means that he gets his pick of the ladies, which explains why he hung around for the Glamour Women Of The Year awards after-party.

The event was peppered with female celebrity guests, including Daisy Lowe, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Eliza Doolittle, Kim Kardashian, Jessie J and Kristen Stewart. It seems that Jared was in his element, as he tweeted rather suggestively: “At the Glamour Awards. A few wa wa we wa’s running around. (sic)”

The playboy revealed to the Sun, however, that he prefers a bit of healthy competition when it comes to the ladies. Speaking before the party, he said:

“There’s no point me going back right away, I haven’t got a wife. Now they’re all married, I haven’t got any competition. There are no fights over who has who any more so, as you can imagine, life is really tough for me right now. But I kinda miss it. I’m a competitive guy so that was part of the fun.”

The band will be hitting stages across the UK over the summer and Kings of Leon tickets are currently on sale for upcoming gigs in London, Edinburgh and Manchester.

If you missed the Kings of Leon at the Isle of Wight festival last weekend, don’t worry – Kings of Leon tickets are still available for a string of outdoor concerts in the UK over the summer. Fans that weren’t at the island music fest last weekend were lucky in some respects, as the weather was truly dismal.

Concert-goers got drenched throughout the Kings’ 21-song set, which featured all of their biggest hits, including Sex on Fire, Use Somebody and Molly’s Chambers. Among the crowd were supermodel Kate Moss and 30 friends, including Jade Jagger and Alison Mossheart of The Kills, who were in attendance for Moss’ hen party.

Moss is marrying The Kills rocker Jamie Hince, and reportedly celebrated in style at the festival, with her party arriving in pink Hummers and watching some of rock’s biggest acts live on stage, including the Kings of Leon.

Nathan Followill, the band’s drummer, was delighted with the gig, in spite of the poor weather. He posted via Twitter: “Thank you Isle of Wight. Thanks 4 powering through the elements. Can’t wait 2 come back… awesome crowd. PS I’m still smiling.”

This was followed up by another enthusiastic tweet: “Thanks again Isle of Wight, y’all truly were amazing. Can’t wait 2 get back asap. I’ll try 2 bring some sunshine next time. Happy Saturday.”

For the chance to see the band over the summer (hopefully in the sunshine!) get Kings of Leon tickets for upcoming gigs at London’s Hyde Park and Manchester’s Old Trafford Cricket Ground.
