This helped their records to reach unprecedented levels of success, going platinum in various countries and earning them more and more fans.
King of Leon features Anthony Caleb Followill providing those distinctive vocals, whilst also playing the rhythm guitar. He performs alongside his brothers Ivan Nathan Followill on the drums, Michael Jared Followill on the bass and their cousin Cameron Matthew Followill on the lead guitar. Together they have secured themselves a place in rock history as their mix of blues and southern rock helps them to attract thousands of fans to their gigs, all eager to witness some of the best chart hits in a live setting. It means that purchasing Kings of Leon tickets is a must whenever they go on sale.
The group first formed in 1999, signing a deal with a major record, who agreed to let them put their own band together consisting of their cousin as well as themselves. It is said that they ‘kidnapped’ their cousin Caleb so they he could join the band, teaching himself the guitar along the way. They were very young at this point, but with Jared at the age of 16 they released their first EP in the form of “Holy Roller Novocaine” in 2003, helping them to make a name for themselves even before releasing their first full length album further down the line.
This would eventually take the form of 2003’s “Youth and Young Manhood”, which emerged in the summer and subsequently saw them head out on tour and receive praise from all quarters. For a debut album it saw unprecedented success and as the decade continued they would capitalise on this with numerous popular follow up releases.
Over the years since it has become difficult to turn on the radio without hearing one of their songs playing out on the speakers. If their music was not so well thought out and enjoyable, this would be a problem but as it is they manage to impress even the most cynical of music-listeners so that seeing them live onstage becomes a must for almost any fan of the live scene.
Since their now-historic debut release they have gone on to issue albums such as “Aha Shake Heartbeat” in 2004, “Because of the Times” in 2007 and, most recently, “Only by the Night” in 2008. Their latest release saw them release various hit singles that have continued to cement their name further, meaning that their popularity is only rising and their ability to attract huge crowds unwavering.
So getting Kings of Leon tickets should be done as quickly as possible before they sell out. The stage is truly their home and when they perform their back catalogue of hits, there is nowhere anyone would rather be.
