Kings of Leon are set to play an exclusive show in London next month, in line with the release of their upcoming 10th studio album, O My Beloved . The band will perform at British Airways ARC , Olympia London’s new 3,800-capacity venue, on Nov. 10. The gig will come just four days after the release of the new record, which is scheduled to arrive on Nov. 6 via Capitol Records. The four-piece’s last full-length effort arrived in the form of Can We Please Have Fun , which hit No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart upon release in May 2024. Tickets for the show start at £95 ($124) plus booking fees and go on general sale Oct. 30 at 10 a.m. (GMT) via the official British Airways ARC website . Fans who pre-order O My Beloved through Kings of Leon’s official store by 2:59 p.m. BST on Oct. 27 will receive a code granting access to the artist pre-sale. Those who have already purchased the album are automatically enrolled in the pre-sale, which will take place ahead of the general sale. An American Express pre-sale is scheduled to begin Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. (GMT). The show follows a run of summer U.K. and Ireland dates for the band, which saw them headline Manchester’s 23,000-capacity Co-op Live and the First Direct Arena, among a slew of outdoor gigs in Belfast, Glasgow and Dublin. Kings of Leon scored their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with Walls in 2016. The album followed a string of top 10 releases, including Come Around Sundown (2010) and Mechanical Bull (2013), both of which peaked at No. 2 on the chart. Their 2008 LP Only By The Night reached No. 4 and spawned two of the band’s biggest hits: “Use Somebody,” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 , and “Sex on Fire.” British Airways ARC’s inaugural lineup has included Self Esteem, who opened the venue in June, followed by performances from McFly, Van Morrison, Khalid and The Black Keys. The venue sits within a wider £1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) renovation of the 138-year-old Olympia event space and conference centre in Kensington, west London, which was originally built to stage agricultural and military shows.
