The original Kings of Leon show was cancelled after a fire at the O2 Arena

A Kings of Leon gig which was cancelled in December due to a fire at London's O2 Arena has been rescheduled for June 2011.

The concert was due to take place on 21 December until a blaze in a loading bay destroyed two tour buses.

It's now been rearranged for 20 June, with original tickets still valid.

The Tennessee rockers also play Hyde Park in London on 22 and 23 June and a Manchester show at Lancashire County Cricket ground on 19 June.

They'll also headline the Isle of Wight festival which takes place between 10-12 June.

In a statement on the day that the original gig was cancelled the band apologised to fans who had hoped to go.

"Kings of Leon send their sincerest apologies to all the fans who were planning and travelling to attend what was due to be a triumphant finale to their European tour tonight," it said.
