American rock band Kings of Leon have announced two shows in Wrexham this May.

The multi BRIT and Grammy award-winning band announced yesterday (Monday, February 27), two huge outdoor shows at Wrexham AFC's Racecourse ground on Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and 28, the bank holiday weekend. 

Wrexham AFC co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney made the announcement via a hilarious video posted by both Hollywood actors.

Tickets for the shows will go on general sale on Friday, March 3 at 9am, but Wrexham AFC supporters and members of the local community can benefit from pre-sales from Wednesday.

The dates at the world’s oldest international football stadium follow last year’s massive UK arena tour – the band’s first UK performance since headlining Leeds and Reading Festivals in 2018.

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