Kings of Leon Add New Dates to 2026 World Tour
23.06.2026 - 00:49:54 | ad-hoc-news.de
Kings of Leon remain a formidable live draw, and their 2026 touring schedule keeps growing. The band continues to build out dates around their latest cycle, with arena shows confirmed across Europe and beyond, according to updated listings on major ticketing platforms and venue schedules.
New dates on the 2026 run
Kings of Leon are scheduled to perform throughout 2026 in key European markets, with shows listed in cities including London, Paris and Berlin on major ticket platforms such as Ticketmaster and Eventim, which reflect an extended run into next year.
These dates follow the group’s recent touring behind their album Can We Please Have Fun, released on May 10, 2024, via Capitol Records and RCA in the US, which marked their ninth studio album and a return to a rawer rock sound.
What US fans can expect live
For US listeners, Kings of Leon have historically focused on arenas and large theaters, and the current routing suggests potential room for additional North American dates once the European leg is fully locked, given the band’s continued visibility on rock radio and streaming playlists.
Even without newly announced US shows yet, their catalog staples such as Sex on Fire and Use Somebody remain recurrent on US rock and alternative formats, providing a strong backbone for any future stateside setlists, as reflected in ongoing playlist placements and airplay reports.
