News of the tour was announced exclusively earlier this morning on CBS Mornings. The band will also appear on CBS Saturday Morning tomorrow to perform two new songs from O My Beloved.
On O My Beloved, Kings of Leon deliver their most intimate and unguarded record to date, bringing their collective creative vision fully to life. Stripped back from the expansive sound that has defined much of their career, the album returns to the raw, unfiltered spirit of the music they made when they first came to Nashville. Across the record, the band embraces a more direct and understated approach, allowing the songs and their stories to take center stage. A love letter to their family and the road that brought them to this point, O My Beloved offers an intimate perspective on the four members and the life they’ve built together.
In the lead-up to today’s release, Kings of Leon offered fans an early look into O My Beloved with three tracks: “My Whole World,” “Cold Blue Dawn,” and “KOYSAR.” The album’s first single, “My Whole World,” emerged from a deeply personal place, with long-held memories and emotions finding their way into the music. “Cold Blue Dawn” followed, arriving alongside a first-of-its-kind lyric video in partnership with The Weather Channel, using NASA satellite topography to bring the song’s lyrics to life. Most recently, “KOYSAR,” an abbreviation for “Kick Off Your Shoes and Run,” drew on the band’s childhood memories and the perspective they’ve gained as they raise families of their own.

RUSH Announces Five-Date “Elevate From the Norm” Residency at Sphere
Today, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® inductees and RUSH co-founders Geddy Lee (on bass, keys, and vocals) and Alex Lifeson (on guitar and vocals) have announced RUSH’s five-date residency at Sphere in Las Vegas. The band will perform on May 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30. Each night the band will play a set of fan favorites and greatest hits from across their catalogue in celebration of RUSH’s music, legacy, and the life of the late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.
Geddy Lee shares about the residency:
“When I first heard of Sphere, I thought to myself, ‘wow, what a shame that RUSH is no longer touring, because this venue sounds tailor made for the kind of visual attitude with which we have always designed our shows.’ Normally we spend months designing the visual effects for our shows and this scenario seemed like the cherry on top of the ice cream for our design team. But life is nothing if not surprising and now, here we are, living and touring in the present tense and we are able to make that particular dream come true. We are presently working hard to expand our touring concepts and concoct some new madness to suit this incredible venue and musically perform the kind of show we’ve been doing in some of our “one off” cities. Meaning playing all of 2112 and all of Moving Pictures along with an array of other songs. We are so effin’ excited to make use of this incredible opportunity to please our fans both visually and viscerally- from wherever they might fly in from. Gonna be so much fun!!”

Noah Kahan Announces a 31-Date Stadium run as part of The Last Of The Bugs World Tour
After a landmark year with his critically acclaimed #1 album and sold-out world tour, 2x GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum artist Noah Kahan is stepping onto the biggest stages of his career. Following this year’s sold-out The Great Divide World Tour, Kahan announces his biggest global headline tour to date: a 31-date stadium run as part of The Last Of The Bugs World Tour. For the first time in his career, after selling out baseball stadiums across the U.S., he’ll bring his music to even bigger stadiums across North America, Europe, and the U.K.
The North American leg of The Last Of The Bugs World Tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off April 24th at Sanford Stadium in Athens, GA, and stops at major stadiums across the U.S. and Canada, including Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium. It will also bring the beloved New Englander home for four nights to Boston’s Fenway Park, following his record-breaking, sold-out four consecutive show run this summer and induction into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame. Following the North American dates, Kahan will head to Europe and the U.K. to continue his stadium run overseas, including stops at Berlin’s Waldbühne, Seville’s Plaza de España, Paris’ Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, and more, as well as three previously announced nights at London’s Wembley Stadium.
