Their last tour down under in 2009 was the hottest of the year, with their shows selling out in minutes.  This summer The Frontier Touring Company are thrilled to confirm the much anticipated return of Kings Of Leon with concerts scheduled for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in March 2011.

Already established as one of the hottest bands in the world, Kings Of Leon reaffirmed their status in October this year, soaring straight to the top of the ARIA charts with their fifth studio album Come Around Sundown (out now through Sony) debuting at number one and securing Platinum status in quick succession.

Renowned for the quality of their live shows Kings of Leon didn’t disappoint on their last Australian tour, with reviewers praising their performances.

‘The Tennessee quartet delivered one of the most powerful walls of sound at a relentless pace…the energy and communion between these newly minted superstars and the audience was mighty powerful – Daily Telegraph, Sydney

‘Kings of Leon proved to Melbourne that they have the sound of legends, and that they are easily worthy of being called leading pioneers of modern rock…It’s fair to assume Kings of Leon have certainly cemented themselves as one of Australia’s most loved international bands…’ – FasterLouder

“The band effortlessly powers through a set list selected from an extensive back catalogue. The mixture of new and old is executed with perfection. “  The Vine

‘Whether it’s their blood connection or not, the band work together like perfectly timed cogs in a machine.’ – Sydney Morning Herald

‘With an enviable catalogue to choose from, they showed they can keep a revved-up party crowd interested for the 100 minutes duration… Caleb’s throaty rasp hints at southern soul origins and there was a little swing in the rhythm of My Party, but for the most part this was heads down, no-nonsense rock.’ – The Australian

Don’t delay in getting your tickets to see Kings Of Leon live in concert.  If their last tour was anything to go by, you will need to get in quick!
