SOUTHERN retro rockers the Kings of Leon are coming to Swindon.

The band are playing at the Oasis as part of a summer tour.

They burst onto the scene in 2003 with their 70s tinged Youth And Young Manhood album.

Their latest album Aha Shake Heartbreak saw the band explore a new, more introspective direction.

Brothers, Caleb (guitar/vocals), Nathan (drums) and Jared Followill (bass) learned to play while taking part in the their father's church services.

They soon relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, where they were joined by another family member lead guitarist Cameron.

The band have just announced a world tour supporting U2, and are rumoured to be playing the Glastonbury Festival.

The lads hit Swindon on July 5.

Tickets are £18.50 plus a booking fee
