About Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon are one of the most distinctive and influential rock bands of the 21st century, known for their unmistakable blend of alternative rock, Southern roots, and soaring, emotionally charged vocals. Formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 1999, the band consists of brothers Caleb Followill (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jared Followill (bass), Nathan Followill (drums), and their cousin Matthew Followill (lead guitar). Their early releases carried a raw, garage-rock energy, drawing comparisons to classic Southern rock and indie revival bands, but their sound quickly evolved into a polished, stadium-ready force that has resonated with global audiences.

The band first gained significant international attention with their 2003 debut album Youth & Young Manhood, featuring standout tracks such as “Molly’s Chambers” and “Red Morning Light.” Their momentum continued with follow-up albums Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times, both of which produced fan favourites and critically acclaimed singles. However, it was their 2008 album Only by the Night that catapulted them into worldwide stardom. The record delivered two of their biggest hits, “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody,” both of which topped charts internationally and remain essential anthems in modern rock music.

Over the years, Kings of Leon have built a reputation for exceptional live performances, combining atmospheric lighting, emotionally driven staging, and Caleb’s powerful vocals. Their concerts showcase a balance between hard-driving rock tracks and introspective ballads, delivering a dynamic experience that appeals to long-time fans and new listeners alike. At Thomond Park, fans can expect a setlist that spans decades — from early high-energy favourites to some of their most recent releases — all performed with the precision and intensity the band are known for.

Their musical evolution continued into the 2010s and 2020s with albums such as Mechanical Bull, Walls, and When You See Yourself, each demonstrating new textures, richer production, and a matured songwriting style. Throughout their career, Kings of Leon have earned multiple awards, including Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards, and NME Awards, solidifying their place as one of the leading rock acts of their generation. Their influence can be felt across modern alternative and indie rock, with a distinct sound that remains instantly recognisable.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

  • The band members spent much of their childhood travelling across the American South with their father, an itinerant preacher — a background that heavily influenced their early sound.
  • “Use Somebody” won three Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
  • Caleb Followill originally struggled with stage fright during their early tours, leading to their characteristic dimly lit shows in the early 2000s.
  • The band took their name from their grandfather, Leon Followill.
