Poor old Kings of Leon haven’t had much luck with their Australian tour, with venue downgrades followed by the tour, originally slotted for next month being postponed after drummer Nathan Followill injured himself in a yachting accident. Awww, the perils of participating in rock star relaxation activities. Hence it must be with relief for promoters that they’ve locked in new dates for the postponed March ones, with the tour now due to take place in November. The promoter says:
All upcoming Australian and South African dates have been postponed to allow drummer Nathan Followill to recover from surgery for a torn right labrum and bicep, following doctor’s advice that at least three months will be required for Nathan to recover post surgery to ensure the injury doesn’t reoccur.
The tour, originally scheduled for March 2011 will now take place in November 2011 as follows:
| OLD DETAILS | NEW DETAILS |
| Tuesday 8 March – Acer Arena, Sydney | Friday 4 November – Acer Arena, Sydney |
| Thursday 10 March – Acer Arena, Sydney | Saturday 5 November – Acer Arena, Sydney |
| Sunday 6 March – QSAC Stadium, Brisbane | Tuesday 8 November – Brisbane Entertainment Centre |
