Berlin citadel show as German tour centerpiece
For fans in Germany, the key date is June 18, 2026, when Kings of Leon take over Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin for a one-off headline concert on the Citadel Music Festival stage. The Berlin city ticket portal confirms the show at the Zitadelle with a runtime limited to that single evening.
