Kings of Leon have announced a major 30-city North American tour for 2027 in support of their newly released tenth studio album, “O My Beloved.” The tour includes a confirmed Southern California stop at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on September 18, 2027, marking their return to the iconic arena venue. According to Pollstar, this will be the band’s first self-produced album and represents a return to their raw, unfiltered early sound.
The announcement comes alongside the release of “O My Beloved,” which the band’s team describes as their “most intimate and unguarded record to date.” Per a Pitchfork exclusive, the album explores themes of family, gratitude, and the everyday moments that have shaped the lives of the Followill brothers. The tour routing spans both amphitheaters and arenas across the U.S. and Canada, with special guests Band of Horses and Dexter and The Moonrocks alternating as opening acts throughout the run.
Tour Details and Ticket Information
The 2027 tour begins May 8 in Bristow, Virginia, and concludes October 15 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. As Billboard first reported, the routing includes both spring and fall legs, with the Los Angeles date falling in the latter segment. Multiple presale opportunities will be available before the general public onsale on November 13, 2026.
According to Grimy Goods, presales include a Reserved by Spotify option starting November 9, followed by artist, Citi, and American Express presales beginning November 10. Live Nation and venue presales will follow on November 11. The Kia Forum show will feature Dexter and The Moonrocks as support, while Band of Horses will open other dates on the tour. All tickets except the Red Rocks performance will be sold through Ticketmaster.
The SoCal Connection
Southern California fans will have their chance to see Kings of Leon at the Kia Forum on September 18, 2027โa Saturday night show that follows their September 17 performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Northern California. The band last played the Forum during their 2024 North American tour, establishing the venue as their preferred Los Angeles-area arena stop.
The Forum has become a staple for major rock acts in Southern California, and Kings of Leon’s return continues their pattern of playing the venue’s larger capacity space rather than amphitheaters like the Hollywood Bowl. This booking suggests the band expects strong demand in the market, building on their established fanbase that has grown since their early 2000s breakthrough.
What’s Next for Fans
With the album now available and tour dates announced, attention turns to the ticketing process beginning with presales in November 2026. Southern California fans should monitor the band’s official website and venue newsletters for presale codes and updates. The extensive routing and multiple support acts indicate this will be one of the band’s most comprehensive tours in years, potentially setting the stage for additional international dates to follow.
