AUCKLAND, October 19, 2026 — Grammy-winning American rock band Kings of Leon have announced a one-off Auckland concert for February 24, 2027, giving New Zealand fans another chance to see the group following the sellout of Christchurch’s Electric Avenue festival.
The band will perform at Live at the Domain, with Australian rock group Ocean Alley confirmed as the supporting act. The newly announced show is part of Kings of Leon’s World Tour 2027 and comes just days before their Christchurch festival appearance.
Ticket presales begin on October 22, with general sales opening October 27. The Auckland announcement offers an alternative for fans unable to secure Electric Avenue tickets.

The concert is listed as general admission, with a maximum purchase limit of 10 tickets per customer.

Electric Avenue 2027 Sellout Creates Another Opportunity
Kings of Leon are also scheduled to perform at Christchurch’s Electric Avenue festival at Hagley Park on February 26 and 27, 2027.
The festival lineup includes internationally recognised DJ Calvin Harris. Electric Avenue sold out, although organisers subsequently announced additional ticket releases, including allocations for local residents.
Reports of tickets being advertised at substantially higher resale prices have added to concerns about availability.
Unlike Electric Avenue’s multi-artist programme, the Auckland event is a separate concert featuring Kings of Leon and Ocean Alley.
Kings of Leon World Tour 2027 and Upcoming Album
The New Zealand performances follow the announcement of Kings of Leon’s 10th studio album, O My Beloved, scheduled for release on November 6, 2026.
Formed in Tennessee, the band consists of brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill.
Kings of Leon achieved international success through songs including Sex on Fire, Use Somebody and Radioactive.
The band’s Grammy-winning history also places its upcoming tour within a wider music calendar that includes the 2027 Grammy Awards.
An official Auckland setlist has not yet been announced.

New Zealand Government Supports Auckland Concert
The performance is supported by New Zealand’s NZ$40 million Events Attraction Package, a government initiative intended to attract major international events and support tourism.
Large concerts can increase demand for accommodation, restaurants and transport services, although the specific funding allocated to this performance has not been disclosed.
Live at the Domain previously hosted Good Charlotte and Yellowcard, supported by Highly Suspect and Tadpole.
Other major entertainment productions, including the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, have also featured live musical performances alongside their main events.
