Kings Of Leon Announce New Album And 2024 World Tour

Published

on

Rock band Kings of Leon are kicking off 2024 with a string of major announcements. Alongside news of a new label partnership with Capitol Records, the band has announced their upcoming 9th full-length studio album, Can We Please Have Fun, out on May 10. The hard-charging lead single, “Mustang” is available now, accompanied by a high-flying music video that sets the pace for the album.  Kings of Leon also announced a 2024 World Tour. The tour, produced by Live Nation in North America, will hit 26 cities across the US and Canada, starting August 14, 2024. Kings of Leon will also tour internationally with a headline set at BST Hyde Park in London on Sunday June 30 announced today. Additional international dates to be announced shortly.

General on sale for North American tickets will begin Friday, March 1 at 10am local time at www.ticketmaster.com.

Sign up for access to the Kings of Leon presale here until Tuesday, February 27 at 11:00pm local time. Tickets go on sale through the Kings of Leon presale starting February 28. Visit https://kingsofleon.com/ for additional details.

Can We Please Have Fun, as its title suggests, is a document of one of this era’s great rock & roll bands cutting loose, trying new things, and, yes, having some fun. Recorded at Dark Horse studio in Nashville and produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Florence + the Machine) the album sees a new side of Kings of Leon. On the new album, the band harkens back to their gritty origins while simultaneously finding new gears. It’s the sound of a band unified in vision and purpose, freed from any expectations, and the album the band says they’ve always wanted to make.

It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of,” Caleb says. “It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable,” Nathan adds. “I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11.”

The group is gearing up for a monumental year, and they’re ready to take the world by storm. “When you have a band, there’s a bond like no other, and when you have family, you have a bond like no other,” Caleb says. “We have both of those things. I thought, if we put all our energy toward something, who is gonna stop us? Who can stop us except us?”

JasonAldean_LukeBryan_2026_National

Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today announced the “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026,” an expansion of co-headlining stadium dates set to kick off this August. The tour adds four additional concerts in 2026 following their sold-out UGA Sanford Stadium show last week (4/25) that reunited the Georgia natives in front of 63,000 fans. Watch a recap of the tour date here. Openers Gavin Adcock, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, and Lauren Watkins have been added as support across select dates, listed below. Openers Dee Jay Silver & DJ Rock are across all dates. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.

Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Wednesday, May 6, at 10 AM local time and continuing through Thursday, May 7 at 10 PM local time, followed by local team presales starting Thursday, May 7, at 10 AM local time. Tickets to the public go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10 AM local time. Tickets are available at JasonAldean.com  and LukeBryan.com.

“If our time in Georgia was a barometric measurement of what’s ahead, these shows with Jason will make it one of the best touring years of my life. And the fans will hopefully feel the same way,” shared Bryan.

“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way. We’ve gotten to share the stage plenty of times over the years, and playing UGA was just a preview of what’s coming for the rest of these shows,” shared Aldean.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive access to a backstage tour, invitation to the pre-show VIP Tailgate Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item & more.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Aldean released his latest studio album, Songs About Us, last week (4/24). The album features the Georgia native’s 31st career #1, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as well as his current Top 15 radio single, “Don’t Tell On Me,” the album’s title track, “Songs About Us” with Luke Bryan, and more, totaling 20 new songs that have been praised as his “best album in a decade” (Entertainment Focus). Having cemented his status as one of the format’s most consistent hitmakers, ACM Artist of the Decade Aldean’s latest studio album Songs About Us follow’s Aldean’s career-spanning collection 30 Number One Hits, which debuted last year at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart — marking Aldean’s 13th Top 10 country album in 20 years. Known for his electrifying live shows and breakout crossover hits, Aldean is set to hit the road for his “Songs About Us” Tour in July following his Full Throttle World Tour, which marked his first ever headlining run in New Zealand as well as his historic headlining return to Australia.

Luke will wrap his ninth season as a celebrity judge on American Idol alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie on May 11, and he will kick off his headline “Word On The Street Tour” on May 29. Since the start of his career, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales, and more than 48 million track sales worldwide, with 32 #1 singles. He became a SoundExchange Hall of Fame recipient as one of the most-streamed artists in the organization’s 20-year history. He has received more than 50 music awards, including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian, and an ACM Lifting Lives Award honoring his devotion to improving lives through the power of music.

FosterThePeople_2026_National

Foster the People have announced their “Good Mourning Sunshine” North American 2026 Tour, bringing their signature blend of indie pop and electrifying live energy to cities across the U.S. and Canada this fall, with support from Goth Babe and The Beaches on select dates.

Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on September 9 at Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix, making stops in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Seattle, Boston, Washington DC, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, and Houston, among others, before wrapping up in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre on October 23.

Foster the People’s latest album Paradise State of Mind marked a major milestone for the band, earning their third Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart and widespread critical acclaim from outlets including BillboardNMEAP NewsForbesClash Magazine, and Consequence. In 2025, the band brought the record to life on a sold-out global tour spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and Latin America. Building on that momentum, Foster the People recently debuted a brand new live show at Coachella, one they’ll bring across North America on the “Good Mourning Sunshine” tour this fall. Featuring stunning visuals, the production transports audiences through a 1950s-inspired utopia that slowly unravels into a psychedelic dream – a commentary on today’s state of the world that is as arresting as it is thought-provoking.
