Kings of Leon brought their new album O My Beloved to London on Tuesday 10 November, performing a one-off show at British Airways ARC that included the live debuts of two songs from the record.
The concert, billed as the band’s only UK and European performance of 2026, offered a more intimate setting than the arenas and stadiums normally associated with the Tennessee quartet.
Rose and KOYSAR make their live debuts
According to the concert setlist listed by Ticketmaster, Rose appeared second in the running order, while KOYSAR arrived later in the main set. Both were marked as live debuts. The 25-song performance also included Comeback Story, On Call, Fans, Pyro and an encore ending with Sex on Fire.
For listeners who have been following the new album, the inclusion of Rose is particularly intriguing. In our recent 10/10 review of O My Beloved, we highlighted the song’s connection to the band’s earlier rock sound, alongside the record’s warmer, more spacious production.
A new record in a smaller room
The show took place just four days after the album’s 6 November release. Rather than claim how the new songs sounded from the room without being there, the more interesting confirmed detail is the band’s decision to introduce fresh material alongside songs drawn from across their catalogue.
That balance — a new, self-produced chapter set against established favourites — makes this performance an intriguing early marker for the O My Beloved era. Whether more of the record enters future setlists remains to be seen.
