Far From Saints first experimented with playing music together on tour - merging their influences, they created a fervent mix of Americana, folk, rock and country which very naturally complemented the alchemy and beautiful harmonies crafted by the two vocalists.

Having recently unveiled their debut track ‘Let’s Turn This Back Around’, their captivatingly fresh album will also be released early this summer.

The announcement of Kings Of Leon’s two monumental Wrexham dates follows their massive UK arena tour last year which included two shows at London The O2 and marked the band’s first UK performances since headlining Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2018.

Kings of Leon released their eighth album ‘When You See Yourself’ in March 2021 and it became their 6th album in a row, to debut at number one in the UK.
