Kings Of Leon have returned with a new song and details of their ninth studio album.
The follow-up to 2021's 'When You See Yourself' is titled 'Can We Please Have Fun' and will arrive on May 10 via Polydor Records.
Recorded with renowned Harry Styles producer Kid Harpoon at Tennessee's Dark Horse Recording, it comprises 12 tracks, including the newly shared Mustang, a country-leaning indie-rock track.
Frontman Caleb Followill said: "It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of." His brother Nathan added: "It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable. I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11."
The Nashville band, completed by Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill, have also confirmed a return to the UK with a headline show at BST Hyde Park in London on June 30. Special guest Paolo Nutini will support, with The Vaccines also set to play. More acts are still to be announced.
Caleb continued: "When you have a band, there’s a bond like no other, and when you have family, you have a bond like no other. We have both of those things. I thought, if we put all our energy toward something, who is gonna stop us? Who can stop us except us?"
The Brit and Grammy Award-winners will also embark on a North American tour later in the summer, with dates continuing through early fall. Tickets for those gigs go on general sale at 10am local time on March 1.
'Can We Please Have Fun' tracklist:
1. Ballerina Radio
2. Rainbow Ball
3. Nowhere to Run
4. Mustang
5. Actual Daydream
6. Split Screen
7. Don’t Stop the Bleeding
8. Nothing to Do
9. Television
10. Hesitation Generation
