Kings of Leon are gearing up to bring their infectious blend of Southern rock and blues to the Big Apple, with a confirmed tour stop at Forest Hills Stadium on September 18. The Tennessee quartet is embarking on 'Can We Please Have Fun Tour,' promoting their ninth studio album with the same name dropping on May 10. The band's latest project promises to deliver a depth of vulnerability, straying from their often hard-charging sound in pursuit of fun.
"It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of," Caleb Followill said in a statement, with brother Nathan adding, "It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable. I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11," according to a New York Post report. Fans looking to get their hands on tickets before the official sale will have a chance as secondary market tickets are already floating around on sites like Vivid Seats, albeit with prices that may swing depending on the demand.
Phoenix is also on the roster for this tour, with Kings of Leon set to perform at the Arizona Financial Theatre on August 20. The band, comprising of brothers Caleb, Nathan, Jared Followill, and their cousin Matthew Followill, have been a force in the music industry since their debut in 2003, snagging three Grammy Awards along the way. With a back catalog featuring bangers such as "Sex On Fire," "Use Somebody," and the newly released single "Mustang," the band has kept fans eagerly waiting for what’s next. A full listing of the nationwide tour dates was featured by the Phoenix New Times.
Joining the 'Use Somebody' hitmakers across North America is special guest Phantogram, known for their blend of dream pop and electronic rock. From the danceable 'Blackout Days' to the enchanting 'When I’m Small,' Phantogram is sure to complement the Kings’ down-home rock vibe.
