Kings Of Leon Add Toronto Date This April

February 6th, 2009

NME is reporting that Kings Of Leon, who are nominated for three Grammys this weekend, are throwing together another North American tour this coming April (um, that’s soon).

There’s only one Canadian date and it’s in Toronto on April 21. And at Air Canada Centre. WOW. So Kings Of Leon went from selling out the Kool Haus (capacity: 2200 people) only three months ago in November to a show at Air Canada Centre (19,000)?? Not even an in between venue like Arrow Hall, Ricoh Coliseum or Sound Academy? Hmm. I’m not a fan of ANY of the venues I just mentioned in this paragraph (I could go on and on about the lack of a decent large-sized venue in Toronto for hours), but of those, ACC is probably the least terrible.

No idea yet when tickets go on sale, but when I find out, I’ll post the info here. Tickets on sale this Friday, February 20 @ 12pm ET and The Walkmen are the opening band.

Will you be at the show?

  1. I love Kings Of Leon but there’s no way I’m gonna pay a bunch of money to see them in a soul-less arena!

  2. that’s the problem with big venues. they sound so hollow and gross. and that’s if they even sell out in the first place. seeing radiohead at skydome was one of the worst shows i’ve ever been to. ditto franz ferdinand at ricoh coliseum. depeche mode at ACC was ok though - they’re used to playing audiences 10x the size.

  7. i will DEF be at the show… not gonna lie though, if i hadn’t already seen them at the Kool Haus i wouldn’t be interested in seeing them as ants on stage at the ACC. it’s just about the music at this point, and i’ll do anything to support the band… too bad they didn’t play Soft at MSG tho!! that would’ve been amazing… looking forward to hearing McFearless and Black Thumbnail in a large arena tho :)

  8. As great as it would be to see KoL again, the almighty Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are at Massey Hall that night. Conchords over the Kings.
