Kings of Lyon + The U.K. Strokes

Kings of Lyon exploded onto the scene at the beginning of 2009 and have been propelled to the top of the tribute ladder with panache and a youthful vibrancy that secured them an O2 Academy headline tour that led straight into their first European tour. A string of festival dates followed throughout Europe, the Middle East and the UK with sell-out shows in the country's foremost music venues from Ireland to the Channel Islands along with high accolade in Q Magazine and a massive UK following.

Kings of Lyon play the perfect KOL show. They have an astounding live set incorporating all of the fans' favourites from 'Youth and young Manhood' to 'Walls'. The band have risen to become one of the most sought after tributes of recent years; stunningly faithful in every aspect from an inseparable appearance to their gut wrenching, soaring stadium sound.

The five musicians who make up Kings of Lyon are no stranger to success in the music industry, having played together for over eighteen years in various successful projects. The members of the band received their first television exposure when they were crowned 'Global Icon winners 2008'. Global Icon was an online competition sponsored by ‘Sky Television' which featured thousands of bands from Europe and gave exposure to the band’s original writing project, The Riffs. The competition, which was filmed and recorded in Manchester, lead to a university tour and the chance to work with the industry’s top producers; all adding to the band’s wealth of experience. Kings Of Lyon have since been privileged to be featured on several UK and Dutch television shows
