SUMMER KINGS OF LEON

After a nonstop year of sold out arenas all over the world, Kings of Leon will take their quest for world domination outdoors this summer.  The Nashville rockers will hit amphitheaters from coast to coast, with key stops at Hollywood Bowl, The Gorge, Deer Creek, and of course Bonnaroo.  Why the band's management chose to play the old Fiddler's Green in Denver instead of Red Rocks is beyond comprehension, but what do I know?  No word on an opening act yet, but I'm predicting either U2 or Jesus.
