Kings of Leon to Kick Off When You See Yourself Tour in South Florida in August

Rock music may not be the dominant cultural force it once was, but Kings of Leon has found plenty of success with its brand of alternative rock. Brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill, along with their cousin Matthew Followill, achieved mainstream success in 2008 with singles like "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire," with the accompanying album, Only by the Night, reaching number four on the Billboard 200.

In March of this year, the quartet released its latest album, When You See Yourself, led by the singles "The Bandit" and "100,000 People." The band's eighth full-length record was anxiously awaited by fans who hadn't heard any new music from Kings of Leon since 2016's Walls. The band also released When You See Yourself as a non-fungible token (NFT) — one of the first major records to be released in the newfangled fashion. It was reported that the band generated $3.7 million in sales of the NFT collection.

Word of the album first surfaced in March 2020, when the band teased on Instagram that something was on the way. But the pandemic pushed back the release a full year. According to Spin's Daniel Kohn, Kings of Leon had planned to promote the album with performances at small venues and pop-up shows akin to the group's early days.

While those special performances aren't likely to happen, fans will still be happy to know that the band will embark on a tour this summer — and those in South Florida won't have to wait for very long. Kings of Leon's When You See Yourself Tour is set to kick off on August 3 at the iThink Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach with Cold War Kids as support.

At a time when concerts are more of a spectacle, Kings of Leon manages to attract throngs of fans who just want oversize rock anthems they can scream along to. It's that quality that has made the quartet one of the biggest rock acts in the world.

Add the fact that most people haven't been to any kind of concert in over a year, and, well, you can probably expect the band's West Palm Beach kickoff date to be a sellout.
