Kings of Leon have announced the dates of a U.S. summer tour in support of their fifth full-length, "Come Around Sundown." The Tennessee group will bring indie rockers Band of Horses along on the 29-date trek, which kicks off Jul. 25 in Orange Beach, Ala.

 

The stateside run comes after Kings of Leon postponed its March tour dates in Australia and South Africa, in order for drummer Nathan Followill to mend from surgery for a torn right labrum and bicep. The drummer recovered in time for Kings of Leon's headlining set at Coachella on Apr. 15, and the group will follow the performance with a European trek beginning May 28 in Ireland.

"Come Around Sundown," Kings of Leon's follow-up to breakout LP "Only By the Night," has sold 596,000 copies since its October release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Pyro," the album's second single, sits at No. 40 on this week's Rock Songs chart.
