Kings of Leon have announced a show at British Airways ARC at Olympia London on 10 November 2026, four days after their tenth studio album, O My Beloved, is due out. The concert will bring the band to a 3,800-capacity venue, with general ticket sales opening on 30 October.

Kings of Leon London tickets and presales

General tickets start at £95 plus booking fees and go on sale at 10 a.m. GMT on 30 October, according to NME and Billboard. Billboard says sales will be handled through the British Airways ARC website. The stated starting price excludes booking fees, so buyers should expect the final amount to be higher.

NME says album pre-sale access begins on 28 October. Billboard says fans who pre-order O My Beloved through the band's official store by 2:59 p.m. BST on 27 October will receive an artist pre-sale code, while those who have already bought it are automatically eligible. Billboard also reports an American Express pre-sale beginning at 10 a.m. GMT on 28 October.

A smaller London show around O My Beloved

The new date follows a summer run of larger UK and Ireland concerts. Billboard says that run included Manchester's 23,000-capacity Co-op Live, the First Direct Arena and outdoor shows in Belfast, Glasgow and Dublin. British Airways ARC's 3,800-person capacity makes the November concert a substantially smaller setting than the Manchester arena date.

Billboard says British Airways ARC opened in June with Self Esteem and has since hosted McFly, Van Morrison, Khalid and The Black Keys. The venue forms part of the redevelopment of the Olympia event site in west London. The newly announced concert gives the band an album-release date at a recently opened venue, rather than another stop on its summer arena run.

O My Beloved is scheduled for release on 6 November, following the band's 2024 album Can We Please Have Fun. NME says the new album's singles include My Whole World and Cold Blue Dawn. Billboard reports that the previous album reached No. 2 on the Official UK Albums Chart after its May 2024 release.
