With so many big announcements this week, including (finally!) the bill for Tempe Music festival, Franz Ferdinand, E-40 and Il Divo we didn’t have time to give you the scoop on this one in a special post, but you’ll be happy to learn that Kings of Leon are coming to Mesa Amphitheatre on Tuesday, May 19.
The Southern lads peaked with their debut, Youth & Young Manhood, if you ask me, but they’ve still got a rabid fan base — I know people who’ll follow this band, which is unusual for an indiesh rock act.
Read on for the full slate of just announced shows, and a video of the Kings of Leon playing “Arizona” live.
