MULTI BRIT and Grammy award winning band Kings of Leon have announced two huge outdoor shows at the iconic Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham AFC, over the Bank Holiday Weekend, on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday May 28, 2023.
The new dates follow last year’s massive UK arena tour which included two shows at London The O2 and marked the band’s first UK performances since headlining Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2018.
