American rockers Kings of Leon have announced a limited run of UK live dates to take place this summer, and will play Leeds, London and Newcastle in 2020.

The 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody' singers will also take a trip down to Cornwall to headline the annual Boardmasters festival.

Support for the Leeds and Newcastle dates is yet to be announced.

Obviously, Kings of Leon's live shows are some months away, so it's hard to predict with much accuracy what might be on the setlist.

Songs like 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody' are almost certain to get an airing, but what else can fans expect to hear come the summer?

According to setlist.fm, Kings of Leon's 'average' setlist in 2019 looked like this:

2020 marks the ten year anniversary of the band's fifth album 'Come Around Sundown', so perhaps a few choice cuts from that record will also be given a celebratory performance or two?

Will there be a new album soon?

Kings of Leon haven't released a new album since 2016's 'WALLS', so fans will be hoping that a new record will be due in the near future, maybe even tying in with this summer's shows.

The band have been quiet on the possibility of an eighth record, but one can fairly safely assume it is on the way.
