Kings of Leon are set to tour North America in January in support of new album ‘WALLS’, and have recruited Deerhunter to open the shows.

The pair will play nine gigs together, ending at The Forum in Los Angeles on 28th January, with Deerhunter playing in support of last year’s ‘Fading Frontier’ LP.
