Kings of Leon’s British Airways ARC Show in London, UK: Everything You Need To Know

In honour of their brand new studio album, O My Beloved, Kings of Leon are returning to London, UK for a special one-off show at the British Airways ARC in Olympia. The rock legends will headline the recently opened venue on Tuesday, November 10th.

Given this is a celebration of the Tennessee-based band's latest project, we suspect they'll be playing a range of tracks from the new album, such as ‘My Whole World’, ‘Cold Blue Dawn’ and ‘KOYSAR’. We imagine they'll also treat us to some iconic sing-along classics as well, though, like ‘Sex on Fire’, ‘Pyro’ and ‘Use Somebody’.

As is often the case at the newly opened British Airways ARC, there's no support act. Doors are set to open at 6pm, and queueing is prohibited until 4:30pm. Kings of Leon are expected to come on-stage at 8pm, but as always, this is subject to change.

With British Airways ARC being a 3,800-capacity venue, this is a unique opportunity to see one of the biggest rock bands of the modern era in a small, intimate setting.

The British Airways ARC has put together a handy guide highlighting how to download your tickets in the official British Airways ARC Venue app, which you'll need to do in order to gain entry, as well as how to find the venue along Emberton Walk.

The official British Airways ARC postcode is W14 8FJ, and the nearest Underground station is Kensington Olympia, which is roughly a five-minute walk from the venue. It's served by the Mildmay Line, the District Line and Southern National Rail.

Other nearby stations include:

• West Kensington (served by the Circle Line and District Line)
• Shepherd’s Bush (served by the Central Line, Mildmay Line and Southern Rail)
• Barons Court (served by the District Line and Piccadilly Line)
• Hammersmith (served by the Circle Line, District Line and Piccadilly Line)

As is the case with many venues nowadays, there is a strict bag policy in place. In order to keep everyone safe, British Airways ARC only allows A4 bags or smaller inside the venue. Larger items, like backpacks and suitcases, are not permitted in the venue or the cloakroom. They advise using facilities like LuggageHero, Bounce or Stasher to store any large bags somewhere in the local area, if you need to.

All that's left to say is...enjoy! Kings of Leon know how to put on an electrifying show, and we're sure that Caleb Followill and his fellow country-rockers will relish the chance to showcase their stellar new album and perform the hits in a smaller venue again.
