Kings Of Leon are set to play a small smattering of festival shows this summer, a sign that the Followill boys still have their thirst for live performances.

Breaking cover, the band spoke to Sirius XM Music and revealed that they have begun sketching out ideas for their seventh studio album.

The group have found a 174 year old house in Nashville, which is acting as a temporary base. "It's a really rad place and I think we can do something cool with it," Caleb Followill said. "And you know if we go in there and it sounds like shit, we can just go across the street to our (Nashville) studio."

However fans shouldn't expect new material any time soon – Caleb warned that Kings Of Leon could take a number of years to finish their new album.

"Record number seven, most people take like five years to make that or something?" he said. "We're still in our very early stages of our five-year plan for this next record."
