Kings Of Leon Announce Album, Summer Tour
06/23/2008

Boy George will not be the opening act on the tour, however….
By Fred Mills
Kings of Leon drop their fourth album, Only By The Night,
on September 23, 2008. Only By The Night was recorded at Blackbird
Studios in Nashville, TN, and was produced by Angelo Petraglia,
Jacquire King and Kings of Leon.
According to the band’s handlers Only By The Night is a “bold and
expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position
as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows
rapidly in the footsteps of the band's previous albums, Youth And Young
Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because Of The Times, all
of which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and
acclaimed acts around.”
Well, ya got that right. Full details on the
album t.b.a. The band has also lined up some pretty big-ass shows this summer,
most of them high profile Euro festival dates. The tour begins on 27 June at
the world famous Glastonbury festival, where
they headline the main Pyramid stage, before continuing with further headline
appearances at Oxegen, T In The Park and V Festival and throughout Europe. On August 9, the band will play the All Points
West Festival in Liberty State Park, in Jersey
City, NJ.
