Kings of Leon announce one-off Auckland show

Grammy award-winning rock band Kings Of Leon have announced a one-off Auckland show before heading down to Christchurch.

The Sex on Fire hitmakers will perform at Live at the Domain on Wednesday, February 24 with support from Australian rock band Ocean Alley.

The rockers were previously announced as headliners for the sold-out Electric Avenue festival at Hagley Park on February 26 and 27.

Earlier this year, Live at the Domain had pop-punk band Good Charlotte and Yellowcard take to the stage with support from Highly Suspect and Tadpole.

Kings of Leon's Auckland show was being supported by the Government's one-off Events Attraction Package – a $40 million fund aimed at bringing large-scale international events to the country.

A Westpac Mastercard pre-sale will run from October 22 at 12pm to October 27 at 12pm.
