One of the world’s biggest rock bands, a former Glastonbury headliner, is coming to North Yorkshire.
Kings of Leon will head to the Yorkshire coast next summer as they return to the UK with a new show.
Following the announcement of their 10th studio album O My Beloved, they will headline Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Sunday 27 June.
Kings Of Leon are a global force in rock music, with songs including Sex On Fire, Use Somebody and Pyro topping charts and racking up billions of streams.
The Scarborough date is one of just two northern UK shows for the band next summer, along with two sold out nights at London’s The O2 and a headline appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival.

Julian Murray of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, venue programmers at Scarborough OAT, said: “Kings of Leon are one of the world’s biggest rock bands, with an incredible catalogue of hits and a live reputation built over more than two decades.
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome them to the Open Air Theatre next summer. This is a huge addition to our 2027 programme and promises to be a really special night on the Yorkshire coast.”
