Get in
Liverpool, here I come.
impressive amount of dates
didn't tnink there were that many "arenas" in the UK.
Can they fill arenas?
Are KOL that big yet?
They've been doin so for a while
I'll probably go to the Glasgow gig. I still really like them and they are a decent live band.
Erm, you'd think so...
... seeing as this is Kings of Leons third arena tour, dating back to 'Aha Shake Heartbreak'!
:-(
Made fool of myself! I didn't know, I'm not that clued up on KOL. I didn't realise they were big enough to fill an arena. Oh well, now I know!
Trent FM Arena?
wut? Ice Arena yeah? I ain't going to nowhere sponsored by that shower of shite
Too right!
When did it become the Trent FM arena?! And why didn't you stop it?
I'm a lowly Grade 4 minion
Nick is SO1, the S stands for senior. I think he's chief executive or something.
SECC - Shite
Kings of Leon - Just above average live band!
Why the fuck can they not play the barrowlands a couple of nights instead!
Think I'll put my KoL ghost to bed and see the at Bournemouth
Although I'm not a big fan of arena dates, I do love the band and I've never seen them for one reason or another.
The funny thing about KOL is
the bigger the venue the better they are
Well..
..that's promising. Plus big venues = half decent supports. Potentially.
wut?
surely it's the opposite for a band like KOL?
Excellent.
The last date is Cardiff as well :D
:)
Got my O2 tickets in the pre-sale this morning. Never been to the O2 for a gig before...
