That sounds promising for more..!

[rickari_66]

^Would be great!
I defo will attend the show in Berlin

[D.]

Just bought my KOL ticket for KOL via fanclub presale ... wohooo! Feels so good to finally have a KOL ticket for an upcoming show hehe.
My guess is: Maybe some warm up gigs in the US; Festivals in Europe/US during summer; proper tour US in the fall and proper EU tour in winter.
What are your guesses?

[Erin]

I almost agree with your guess; I'd say that with the EU festivals, there'll also be regular shows because a lot of festivals (though lasting longer more & more) are based around the weekends and we can't let the guys have all that time time off on weekdays.

[NikLovesLeb]

I wonder if they are actually going to support an album?
Or is this just a money maker?

[Erin]

If the album's out in summer, then it will be promote that. I suppose the first shows could be before the album's release, kinda like they did in 2010 before CAS was released.

[sarah///]

I thought they might do their standard UK June run of gigs, as they tend to branch off into Europe after?

Really tempted to buy a ticket for a Europe date, but I'm waiting for UK dates as their my main priority, just want to know I have a date coming up!

[NikLovesLeb]

Yeah thinking of Euro/UK dates as well. I just don't want to do a festival, and would prefer just regular concerts.
Might be a good excuse to sojourn back to the old continent in the summer.

[Erin]

I have a feeling my first KOL gig is gonna be in the UK.

[sarah///]

I was contemplating Berlin until I looked today and saw tickets were 72 euros! Gonna wait for more dates, so excited!!!

[NikLovesLeb]

According to gettothefront.com

Kings of Leon set for a world tour in 2013 with European dates announced & onsale last week, one ticket agent is indicating a show at The O2 London on Wed 12 June 2013 going onsale next week, check back for confirmations & any more dates.

[Erin]

That's a lot of money for a single gig! Or is it a one day festival?

[NikLovesLeb]

They confirmed O2 Arena, London on 12 June 2013

Just the one gig, although o2 is pretty much the same amount, but I don't have to pay much to get to London so I don't mind paying it.

Literally cannot wait!

[chasingstars]

God I haven't been on here in ages, but I just randomly googled KoL tour dates and saw the o2 one, not sure whether to get tickets as its pretty expensive

Really??? Which one?

I bought my tickets but not sure now which dates I can swing ... will depend on my new job. Excited ... fanclub presale worked fine this time. Guess mostly cause nobody knew it was already happening LOL ... *shakes head*.

[Erin]

None after all. I'm gonna see Ali next year in Brum & I thought it'd be cool to go there around the time KOL play, but as it turns out, Ali won't be home that week. So still no KOL for me.

[sarah///]

Got tickets to all six English dates (love how they say UK but it's all England ), so poor but so excited!!!!
