Kings of Leon announce 2027 London show at The O2
New album O My Beloved arrives this November, with London locked in for the band’s Summer 2027 tour
Kings of Leon are heading back to London. The Nashville band will play The O2 on Friday 2 July 2027, their first show in the capital since their fifth Hyde Park date in 2024. The concert lands as part of The O2’s 20th anniversary series and will be the only UK arena date on the O My Beloved Summer 2027 tour.
Before London comes album number 10. O My Beloved is due on 6 November 2026, following 2024’s Can We Please Have Fun, the record that delivered ‘Mustang’, ‘Splitscreen’ and ‘Nothing To Do’. New track ‘Cold Blue Dawn’ premiered on 30 September, featuring a lyric video designed in collaboration with The Weather Channel using NASA’s Landsat satellite initiative to showcase real topographical imagery of our changing rivers, coastlines, and mountains.
The Followills have kept busy on UK stages in the meantime. Summer 2026 brought shows in Belfast, Glasgow and Manchester, continuing a live run that put Can We Please Have Fun alongside a catalogue stretching back more than two decades.

Next year’s O2 show carries another bit of London history with it. Kings of Leon last played the capital at Hyde Park in 2024; by the time they return, The O2 will be celebrating 20 years. O My Beloved arrives first, with two further outdoor shows in northern England also due to be announced later this month. London, meanwhile, already has a date in the diary.
