On the heels of a groundbreaking new album, KINGS OF LEON announces
the When You See Yourself Tour produced by Live Nation. The
Grammy Award-winning group will kick off the tour on August 3rd in West
Palm Beach, FL at the iThink Financial Amphitheater and travel through 20+
cities before concluding on October 3rd in Ridgefield, WA at the
Sunlight Supply Amphitheater. The tour will make stops at outdoor venues across
North America, including two hometown shows at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater. Tickets for the tour will be available to the general
public beginning Friday, May 21 at 10:00 a.m. local time at www.livenation.com.
Known for their impressive live performances, which have consistently
been praised by critics for their dynamic creative, Kings of Leon will take to
the stage performing new material alongside fan favorite tracks in their highly
anticipated return to live shows. The
band expressed their excitement to get back on the road when speaking with SPIN
for their April cover. “It has that fun first day of summer camp vibe to it,
which we’ve missed so much. It’s going to be super cool to get out there and
play these songs for the first time.” said Nathan Followill. Check out the
cover and read the full article HERE.
Special guests Cold War Kids will join them as support, with band
frontman Nathan Willett adding, “We are so excited to open for Kings of Leon on
tour all over the US! Like- thrilled beyond belief, losing our minds about it!
Let’s go!”
Earlier this year, Kings of Leon released their innovative eighth
studio album When You See Yourself, marking the first time ever
that a new album was released as an NFT. In a first of it’s kind launch, the
innovative album release made waves through the music industry, quickly
becoming one of the most successful wide-scale use of NFTs within the music
industry to date. In the history making drop, the band made
available six GOLDEN TICKET experiences, offering fans four front row seats,
each tour, to the show of their choosing, anywhere in the world, FOR LIFE. NFT YOURSELF album token holders were
also able to redeem “Going Nowhere” (an acoustic version of the album
track ‘Supermarket’). The previously unreleased version of the track is
being given as a token of appreciation to everyone who was willing to
invest in the future of music, during a year of uncertain futures. As
Kings of Leon continue exploring ways to connect directly with their fans, NFT
YOURSELF will be the gift that keeps on giving.
The drop has raked in 1k Ethereum, which at today’s valued
exchange rate, is approximately 3.7 million dollars. $600,000 of that has gone
to directly benefit Live Nation’s Crew Nation. Echoing this sentiment on tour,
the band will continue to give back to their musical community with one dollar
from every ticket going directly to their newly formed Inherit The Music
foundation.
Inherit The Music is embarking on a campaign to
inspire the next generation of musicians. Co-founded by Kings of Leon and philanthropist
Alisha Ballard, Inherit The Music supports local organizations
that pay forward the gifts that only music can provide. By providing resources
and funding education programs at all age levels, this newly formed charitable
organization aims to impact the aspiring musicians of today and the future.
Kings of Leon’s latest album, When You See Yourself,
was recorded at Nashville’s famed Blackbird Studios and produced by Grammy
Award-winning Markus Dravs. The album has received critical acclaim with Rolling
Stone Magazine noting “…the band’s eighth album is an arena
rock of the mind,” that “lunges and soars with rippling guitar leads
cascading across some of the dirtiest riffs the band has put on a record since
the New South-meets-neo-Strokes garage moves of its first two albums… this
record might surprise you.”
