Kings of Leon Set London Show at British Airways ARC for 10 November
Kings of Leon will play British Airways ARC in London on 10 November, and tickets start at £95 plus booking fees. The show comes a few days after their new album, O My Beloved, is released on 6 November through Capitol Records. Billboard reported the dates.
The venue is a 3,800-capacity room at Olympia, the event space in Kensington, west London. Olympia is part of a £1.3 billion renovation of the 138-year-old building. Earlier this year, Self Esteem opened the venue in June, followed by performances from McFly, Van Morrison, Khalid and The Black Keys.
Getting a ticket will take a few steps. Fans who pre-order O My Beloved through the band's official store by 2:59 p.m. BST on 27 October receive a code for artist pre-sale, which is early access before tickets reach the public. An American Express pre-sale opens on 28 October at 10 a.m. GMT. General sale starts on 30 October at the same time, through the official British Airways ARC website.
O My Beloved is the band's 10th studio album. Their previous record, Can We Please Have Fun, reached No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, the chart run by the Official Charts Company, when it came out in May 2024.
The band's American chart history is also long. Their album Walls gave them their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the weekly US album chart, in 2016. Only By The Night reached No. 4 on that chart. Their song "Use Somebody" reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, the weekly US singles chart.
The band's official website also lists the Isle of Wight Festival in the UK for 17 to 20 June 2027.
London has been a complicated city for the band before. In December 2010, a fire tore through two tour buses at London's O2 Arena on the morning of a scheduled Kings of Leon gig, and the show was cancelled, Reuters reported at the time.
For fans, the practical question is timing. Anyone who wants to be first in line should check the pre-order deadline and the pre-sale dates against their own calendar, because the general sale window is only a few days after the album arrives. The album and the London show both fall in the first half of November, with the ticket sales running just ahead of them.
