Kings of Leon sold more than six million copies of fourth album Only By the Night

Kings of Leon have announced their biggest-ever UK show at Hyde Park in London.

The concert will take place on Wednesday 30 June with tickets going on sale at 9am on Friday 19 February.

The Nashville rockers are now writing their fifth album and they recently won record of the year at the Grammy Awards for single Use Somebody.

Fourth album Only By the Night sold more than six million copies worldwide with Sex On Fire going to number one.

Bass player Jared Followill said: "It's a great honour to be playing Hyde Park.

"To be put in the same category as the groups that have played before us is just unbelievable. Bring sun block and your earplugs."
