(fcc) Last night, GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum rock band Kings of Leon returned to the live stage with a massive sold-out show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Joining Zach Bryan for his stadium tour, Kings of Leon marked their first live performance since canceling a portion of their European dates following Caleb's heel injury.
The band electrified the sold-out crowd with a setlist featuring the biggest hits from their extensive catalog as well as new music from their latest release Can We Please Have Fun, which debuted last year in the Top 10 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Current Albums Sales, Indie Store Album Sales and Vinyl Albums Chart.
Kings of Leon will join Zach Bryan on Saturday and Sunday as well for two more sold-out MetLife Stadium shows. By the end of this weekend, the band will have played for over 200,000 concertgoers, lighting up their first weekend back on the road.
