California fans: Kings of Leon play The Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2027, one night after a Friday, Sept. 17 stop at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View. The band last brought their arena show to the Forum on their 2024 North American tour.
Band of Horses, who Grimy Goods last covered at BeachLife Festival 2023, will open the spring dates and the Southeast run in the fall, while Dexter and The Moonrocks join the West Coast, Texas, and final Northeast dates, including Los Angeles.
All tickets will be sold through Kings of Leon’s official Ticketmaster event page unless otherwise noted. The one exception is the Sept. 20 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which is sold through AXS.
How To Get Official Kings of Leon Presale Code Tickets
Reserved by Spotify Presale
Eligible North American Spotify Premium subscribers may get access to Reserved by Spotify tickets through Ticketmaster starting Monday, Nov. 9 at 9 AM local time. Spotify will notify selected fans by email, push, and in-app notifications, so keep an eye on your inbox and the app.
Artist Presale
Register for the Kings of Leon artist presale on the band’s official website now. The artist presale begins Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 9 AM local time though Seated. Your presale code will be text and/or emailed to you.
Citi Cardmember Presale
If you have a Citi card, you can take part in this presale starting Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 9 AM local time through Thursday, Nov. 12 at 10 PM local time. All you need to do is select your tour date, and use the first 6 digits of your Citi® credit card or Citibank® Debit Card as the presale code. The Citi presale is for U.S. dates only. Citi cardmembers can also look for Citi Preferred Tickets once the general on-sale begins.
American Express Presale
The Amex presale is for Canada dates only (Toronto and Vancouver). American Express Card Members can buy tickets before the general public from Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 9 AM local time through Thursday, Nov. 12 at 10 PM local time.
Live Nation Presale
The Live Nation presale is the last chance before the general on-sale, and it’s a short window that opens Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 9 AM local time. To get instant access to the Live Nation presale, you will need to sign up for a free membership to Live Nation’s All Access program.
When you sign up for Live Nation All Access, you don’t need a presale code. Once the presale begins, just log in to Ticketmaster using the same email address you used to create your Live Nation All Access account. The presale tickets will automatically be unlocked for you.
Venue Presale
Local venue presales, including the Kia Forum presale in Los Angeles, will also take place on Wednesday, Nov. 11, starting at 9 AM local time. This is a great option if you missed the artist presale sign-up window. To get the venue presale code, first select the tour date you want to attend. Next, head over to the venue’s website and sign up for their newsletter. Venues often send out presale codes for their local presales. You can also check the venue’s social media accounts to see if they’ve shared the presale code.
If you’re trying to get tickets to Kings of Leon at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, the venue usually uses the same presale code for all their presales.
Support Act Presale
The opening acts get their own presale on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 9 AM local time. Fans of Band of Horses or Dexter and The Moonrocks should watch those bands’ newsletters and social media for a presale code for the dates they’re opening.
General On-Sale
If you strike out on every presale, tickets go on sale to everyone on Friday, Nov. 13 at 9 AM local time.
Whichever presale you try, Kings of Leon tickets are available on Ticketmaster, so pick your city ahead of time and be ready when your window opens. Heading to Red Rocks? Those tickets are on AXS.
Watch Out for Speculative Tickets
It’s really disappointing when fans search for how to get tickets to a show and get bombarded with paid ads from resale sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, and SeatGeek. We’ve already spotted Kings of Leon Kia Forum listings on Vivid Seats, StubHub, and SeatGeek, even though not a single ticket has gone on sale. Any listing you see before the first presale on Monday, Nov. 9 isn’t a real ticket. It’s a speculative ticket, meaning the seller is betting they can buy one later and flip it to you at a markup, with no guarantee they’ll come through. Don’t fall for the trap. Stick with Ticketmaster, the official ticket seller for this tour, or AXS for Red Rocks.
California just cracked down on this. In September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 1349, a law that bans selling concert and sports tickets the seller doesn’t actually own. Independent venues argue the final version leaves resale marketplaces like StubHub off the hook, and Newsom himself asked lawmakers to revisit that part. Several other states, including Nevada, Maryland, Minnesota, and Oregon, also ban speculative ticket sales.
If you spot a listing like this, you can report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. California fans can also file a complaint with the California Attorney General.
When It’s a Good Idea To Buy From Resale Sites
The only time it makes sense to buy from a resale site is when a show has officially sold out and you have no other options. That’s when sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats become an option. There have been plenty of reports of sellers on both sites not coming through with the tickets they listed, but both offer buyer guarantee programs that refund your money if your tickets never arrive.
Honestly, though, after 30+ years of going to shows as both a fan and a journalist, I’ve found you can score the best deals and seats in the days leading up to a show. That’s when production holds get released and fans who can no longer make it relist their tickets on Ticketmaster. I’ve been that fan myself. I’ve had to sell tickets I spent hundreds on after getting sick or having a change of plans, and I sold them well below face value.

BEST CONCERTS IN LOS ANGELES THIS MONTH
Concert Essentials In Your Bag
When at a concert, you always want to make sure your bag is aligned with the rules of the concert venue. That means either having a small clutch that cannot exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″ or, if you need something bigger, you can get a clear bag with a maximum size of 12″ x 6″ x 12″ (not all venues have bag rules; be sure to check before arriving).
This is the best point-and-shoot camera that all the pros have. Your photos will legit look like you had photo pit access.
In your bag, you should always pack protective earplugs. These are super cute, work great, and these are also winners.
Sanitizer is a must! Because, so many germs. This sanitizer spray is sleek and actually nourishes your hands. It doesn’t dry them out.
If you have foot or leg pain, or just aren’t used to standing for a long time, you absolutely need these.
