Kings of Leon set to rule Slane

Kings of Leon have confirmed that they will headline Slane Castle on Saturday 28th of May celebrating 30 years of concerts at the historical Co. Meath venue. Kings Of Leon’s highly acclaimed fifth album ‘Come Around Sundown’ became their third consecutive album to debut at #1 when it topped the Irish and UK album charts on release. Come Around Sundown is the follow-up to the hugely successful Only By The Night, which sold over six million copies worldwide and garnered four Grammy Awards. It’s yet another bold and expansive statement by the Nashville, Tennessee-based quartet who, in the last two years, have become one of the biggest bands in the world; also one of the most creatively restless. As proven throughout their storied career, Kings of Leon love to work. Whether writing, recording or touring, the band is constantly in motion. Once they finished touring in support of Only By The Night at the end of October 2009, they went back in the studio to record the follow up LP. This past June, they returned to their home state with a triumphant headlining slot at the prestigious Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, and a successful North American shed tour. ‘Come Around Sundown’ is out now on Columbia Records. The single ‘Pyro’ is released on 3rd December.
