Kings of Leon Announce Fall 2009 US Tour

With perhaps one of the biggest years for any band in recent memory, Nashville’s Kings of Leon are set to return to the US. After the release of 2008’s Only By The Night, the Tennessee foursome have released dates of their summer/fall tour of venues and festivals. Since selling over 500,000 copies and winning a Grammy, KOL have enjoyed the lavish amenities of rock stardom. “It’s nice to go from small, smoky venues to selling out huge arenas and staying in nice hotels,” remarks bassist Jared Followilll. “It’s good that we all have our space… there’s still a hatred, but no fistfights.” Be sure to see below for the band’s tour, which will include Lollapalooza and Sasquatch.
