The Kings of Gulf Shores

Kings of Leon

The Kings of Leon were the Friday night headliners at The Hangout Music Festival 2013. These guys know how to keep it in the family, consisting of the Followhill brothers Anthony on vocals and rhythm guitar, Ivan on drums, and Michael on bass. Their cousin, Cameron Followhill plays lead guitar. While the boys are originally from Oklahoma, the band is now based in Nashville, TN. The Kings of Leon have captured their own unique sound which blends southern rock with pop and alternative and even a little blues. They played into the night to an absolutely full beach with thousands upon thousands of screaming fans cheering them on. The Kings of Leon played just about all of their big hits throughout their 3 hour set including “Revelry,” “Notion,” “On Call,” and “Sex on Fire.” Throughout the show the vocals were echoed by the youthful audience, who recited the lyrics word by word with them. It was plain as day to see that these guys have become rock stars in their own right.

The Kings of Leon have finished their 6^th album to date, and it is set for release later in 2013. They have a whole lot of tour dates coming up in 2013, and while most of them are in Europe, you still have a chance to see them here in the United States.
