Kings of Leon Lengthen Their Spring Tour

This year, Kings of Leon started their tour by outselling major arenas throughout the world. Although they reign supreme throughout most of Europe, they hail from the middle of the United States.

This year, they are expanding their original tour all the way through August.

Their single, "Sex on Fire," received a Grammy for Best Rock Song. They also had other nominations for Best Rock Album and for Best Rock Song by a duo or group.

Their newest album, Only by the Night, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 chart in September 2008. It continues to stay on the chart.

Currently, the band is working on a new album.
