Kings of Leon, Berlin show crowns 2026 European run

Kings of Leon headline Berlin’s Zitadelle Spandau on June 18, 2026 as part of their current international tour. According to Berlin’s official event listing, the Nashville band play an open-air Citadel Music Festival show that evening in the Spandau fortress.

Berlin date anchors a wider 2026 tour

The Berlin concert at Zitadelle Spandau is scheduled for June 18, 2026, with doors at 7:00 p.m. local time, framing it as the band’s exclusive German appearance of the year in an historic courtyard setting in the city’s northwest.

Local platforms such as Berlin.de and ticket partners describe the show as part of the Citadel Music Festival, noting a capacity of around 3,500, which is intimate by Kings of Leon’s usual arena standards and makes it a close-range show for fans based in Germany. Berlin event overview

Setlists and European routing

The Berlin date sits inside a June 2026 European leg that includes Tallinn’s Unibet Arena, ?ód?’s Atlas Arena and Milan’s Fiera Milano Live, followed by Vienna and festival stops in Zagreb, Chelmsford, Belfast, Limerick, Glasgow, Manchester and Leeds, plus Mad Cool Festival in Madrid.

Setlist.fm reports that the band’s June 18, 2026 Berlin show began shortly after 8:00 p.m. and ran over twenty songs, mixing early favourites like Taper Jean Girl, The Bucket and Molly’s Chambers with later singles such as Waste a Moment and Mustang, closing with Knocked Up and Sex On Fire as encores.

How the current work sounds

Kings of Leon’s ninth studio album Can We Please Have Fun, released on May 10, 2024 via Capitol Records, underpins much of the 2026 touring. The record was produced by Kid Harpoon at Nashville’s Dark Horse studio and leans into a looser, guitar-driven sound with tracks like Mustang, Television and Hesitation Generation.

Critic aggregators note mid-60s to low-70s scores for the album, broadly in line with the band’s earlier records but slightly below critical highs like Because of the Times, situating Can We Please Have Fun as an energetic, if not radical, continuation of their post-arena phase.

Where the act stands now

After the June–July European run, the next officially listed Kings of Leon live date is September 18, 2026 at The Woodlands of Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware, where they appear alongside Zach Bryan and others at a US festival.
