Kings Of Leon Close Leeds Festival

Southern indie royalty Kings Of Leon have closed this year's Leeds festival with a stunning set, but have warned fans they will be away for some time.

Kings Of Leon released their fourth album 'Only By The Night' last year, little anticipating the reaction they would receive. Hailed by critics, it became one of the year's most successful albums spawning a number of epic singles.

Perhaps American indie rock's most quintessential festival group Kings Of Leon have already performed at T In The Park this summer, and their appearance at Leeds followed on from a show at sister site Reading two nights earlier.

Taking to the stage to huge applause from the Main Stage crowd, Kings Of Leon kicked things off with 'Closer' before moving into 'Crawl'. Tracks from 'Only By The Night' caused a massive singalong, with 'Be Somebody' being echoed by the enormous crowd.

Obviously moved by the response, singer Caleb Followill said "we're only five songs in and you've blown Reading to hell. This is for all you people who didn't come for two songs".

Delving into their back catalogue, Kings Of Leon played a slow, bluesy version of 'Molly's Chambers' from their debut album 'Youth And Young Manhood'. However the band then stunned fans by revealing that this would be their final British show for some time.

"This is the last show we have booked in England for a long, long time, so I'm gonna get my buzz on" said Caleb Followill. "We're gonna miss you guys - we'll see you next year."

"When we come back, it's gonna be bigger and even more beautiful," he added later.
