Concert season is beginning to take shape with some pretty big concert announcements over the last week, and Kings of Leon are the latest to announce a stop in South Florida. Fresh of their meteoric rise to stardom/sellout status thanks to their song about flaming sex, the Tennessee bred band of brothers (3/4 have the same parents and the fourth shares grandparents with the rest of the band) is playing at the BankUnited Center on Thursday, May 7th, with NYC indie darlings The Walkmen opening the show. Tickets start at $33.75 and can be purchased here. A video about hot sex is after the jump.
