Kings of Leon have announced that they will be returning to the UK in February, stopping at five cities including Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool and Glasgow.

The band from Nashville, Tennessee are getting ready to release their new album WALLS, which stands for We Are Like Love Songs, on 14 October.

In an interview with NME about the band’s past, lead singer and frontman Caleb Followill said: “If there was a movie made of our lives, in the last few years we had a lot of edge. Those are the moments in the movie that you’d wanna watch!

“What we were doing early on was storybook, classic, what a band should be; the drugs and the booze and the girls. Now we consider what we’re doing a little more and if that’s losing your edge… maybe, I dunno. When you look at the bands that still had their edge, most of them, their music is shit so it doesn’t f****** matter about the edge.”

Kings of Leon formed in 2000 and have been a huge success in the UK, with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008, and all three of the band’s albums at the time peaked in the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their biggest singles include ‘Sex on Fire’ and ‘Use Somebody’, from their 2008 album Because of the Times.

The tour begins on February 19 and tickets go on sale from 9.30am on October 20. Details of dates and venues are below.
