Kings of Leon will headline Sydney Summertime on Sunday, February 28, 2027, at Centennial Park in Sydney, with Australian band Ocean Alley as special guests. The band is the second headline act announced for the inaugural outdoor series, which is run by Secret Sounds and Live Nation. The Strokes open the series on February 20 with Beck, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland.

The booking follows the band’s announcement of their 10th studio album, O My Beloved, due November 6 via Love Tap Records and Virgin Music Group. It is the first Kings of Leon album the band has produced entirely themselves, following Can We Please Have Fun (2024). The lead single, “My Whole World,” is out now.

Frontman Caleb Followill said in announcing the record that he thought it would be beautiful to make an album “looking back on all of the things that we’ve done and appreciating how we got here.”

Tickets and presale

The show is open to all ages. Children 12 and under enter free, youth tickets cover ages 13 to 17, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Six ticket experiences range from general admission and front-of-stage Gold Circle to hospitality areas and private suites, and a return public transport pass comes with every ticket. Moshtix is the ticketing partner.

A presale opens Thursday, October 22, at noon local time. General tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 27, at 1 p.m. Fans who pre-order O My Beloved by 4 p.m. AEDT on Wednesday, October 21, receive presale access. Organizers say more international and Australian headliners will be announced in the coming months.

Kings of Leon’s U.S. chart history includes “Use Somebody,” which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009, and Walls (2016), which debuted at No. 1 with 77,000 equivalent album units.
