Kings Of Leon 2011 Summer Tour

From KingsOfLeon.com:

Kings of Leon have confirmed summer 2011 tour dates with special guests Band of Horses (U.S. only). Coming off a triumphant headlining slot at this year’s Coachella, about which the LA Times said the Kings “touched down into something wistful and real, as nostalgic as rock 'n' roll itself,” the tour is the first multiple date U.S. run and the first coast to coast Canadian run since the release of the band’s fifth album, Come Around Sundown.

The complete U.S. tour (w/ Band of Horses) dates are below. Members of the Kings of Leon Fan Club (www.KOLFanClub.com) will have access to presale tickets for the dates as listed below:
