Kings of Leon are heading to New Zealand in early 2027 to headline Electric Avenue in Christchurch, and Australian fans are already asking the question that feels impossible to ignore.

If they are already making the trip to this part of the world, is an Australian tour announcement on the way?

We think it is only a matter of time. Here is why.

Kings of Leon Are Already Coming to the Region

Kings of Leon have been confirmed as headliners for Electric Avenue in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2027. That puts them on Australian soil's doorstep.

Historically, major international acts rarely make the long-haul journey to New Zealand without adding Australian dates. The economics of touring this part of the world almost demand it. And for a band with the fanbase Kings of Leon have in Australia, leaving without playing a single show here would be a significant missed opportunity.

It is also worth noting that fellow Electric Avenue headliner Calvin Harris has already confirmed a standalone Australian tour across February 2027. The touring infrastructure and appetite for major international acts in Australia right now is clearly strong.

Kings of Leon and Australia: A Recent History

Kings of Leon last toured Australia in late October and early November 2022. Here is what that run looked like:

  • The Album: When You See Yourself, their eighth studio album, which debuted at number one on the ARIA charts

  • The Cities: Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena, Brisbane at Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Melbourne at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Perth at RAC Arena, and a unique regional stop in Mildura at Mildura Sporting Precinct

  • The Support: Australian favourites The Temper Trap joined them across the dates

That tour reminded Australian fans exactly what they had been missing. Kings of Leon are one of those live bands that consistently exceed expectations, with a catalogue that spans two decades of some of the most beloved rock music of the era. The 2022 run was well received across every city and demand for a return has been building ever since.

Kings of Leon have been sitting on our Tour Predictions page for a while now for exactly this reason.

What Would a Kings of Leon Australian Tour Look Like?

Based on their 2022 tour and the current outdoor touring landscape in Australia, here is what fans can reasonably expect.

Outdoor summer shows. The 2027 Australian touring window is shaping up to be dominated by major outdoor events. Kings of Leon would fit perfectly into that format, playing iconic open-air venues across the country.

A career-spanning setlist. Kings of Leon have one of the great rock catalogues of the past two decades. Fans can expect Sex on Fire, Use Somebody, Notion, The Bucket, Four Kicks, and tracks from When You See Yourself among others.

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth as the core cities. These were the major stops on their 2022 tour and remain the key markets for a band of this size. Adelaide could also feature.
