Kings of Leon Drop 10th Album O My Beloved, Map 30-Stop North American Tour

kings-of-leonKings of Leon released their 10th studio album, O My Beloved, and announced a 30-city North American tour kicking off in May.

The record marks the first time the Nashville band has fully self-produced an album. Caleb, Nathan, Jared, and Matthew Followill built the collection around themes of family, gratitude, and the everyday moments that shaped their lives. The sound is stripped back, closer to the raw approach they took when they first started making music in Nashville.

O My Beloved includes 13 tracks. The band previewed three songs ahead of the release: “My Whole World,” “Cold Blue Dawn,” and “KOYSAR,” short for “Kick Off Your Shoes and Run.” “Cold Blue Dawn” came with a lyric video that used NASA satellite topography, made in partnership with The Weather Channel.

The tour, promoted by Live Nation, starts May 8 in Bristow, Virginia and runs through October 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Band of Horses will support most of the dates, with Dexter and The Moonrocks joining others. The band will perform material from across their catalog, including the new album.

Tickets go on sale November 13 at 9am local time. Presales for Spotify Premium subscribers start November 9, with artist, Citi, and Amex presales beginning November 10. Full tour dates and ticket details are available at kingsofleon.com.

The band announced the tour during an appearance on CBS Mornings. They’ll perform two songs from O My Beloved on CBS Saturday Morning.
