NME reports that Kings of Leon have revealed further UK dates to their 2017 tour. The band were already set for a UK tour in February, but have confirmed two extra dates today. Tickets for the tour will go on sale on January 27,  at 9am.

The announcement for these extra dates in Jun comes alongside the revelation that KoL will be headlining the British Summertime Festival in Hyde Park, London, on on July 6, with support from the likes of Pixies, and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. The band have also confirmed themselves to be playing Denmark’s Tinderbox Festival, which incidentally takes place on the same weekend as the UK’s Glasonbury festival, which may well lay to rest any rumours of Kings of Leon playing there.

Kings of Leon release their seventh album WALLS in October, which was heralded by many as a return to form for the group.  When asked about the band potenitaly losing their edge, frontman and guitarist Caleb Followill, said of the new project “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 fucking matter about the edge.” The extra UK tour dates can be seen below.
