The Tennessee rockers performed their only 2026 show on this side of the pond at the brand new British Airways ARC, a 3,800-capacity music venue at Olympia London.

Até agora, artistas como Self Esteem, Puscifer, Van Morrison e The Black Keys já se apresentaram no local desde que abriu em junho.

Esta noite foi a vez do KOL, que apresentou quatro faixas de seu décimo álbum de estúdio, lançado na última sexta-feira, incluindo os singles recentes ‘My Whole World’, ‘Cold Blue Dawn’ e as estreias de faixas do álbum ao vivo ‘Rose’ e ‘KOYSAR’.

Ahead of ‘Cold Blue Dawn’, he added: “We arrived yesterday and we haven’t sound checked and we haven’t rehearsed. We’re gonna play you a bunch of stuff, we’re gonna give you some old and new songs.”.

Along with performing some of their most famous bangers (‘Closer’, ‘Use Somebody’ and ‘The Bucket’) they took time to dip into several tracks from ‘Because Of The Times’, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year, including ‘On Call’, ‘Black Thumbnail’, ‘Arizona’, ‘Knocked Up’ and ‘Fans’.

Antes disso, Caleb falou sobre o carinho que a banda recebeu quando chegou pela primeira vez ao Reino Unido. “Na verdade, vocês foram tão incríveis para nós que voltamos para casa depois da turnê e escrevemos essa música só para vocês,” ele compartilhou.

The biggest surprise of the night came when the band broke out early hit ‘Wasted Time’ for the first time since 2014. “We haven’t played this in a long time,” Caleb admitted.

As the band wrapped up their show with ‘Knocked Up’ and their stadium slaying Number One hit ‘Sex On Fire’, guitarist Matthew Followill conducted the crowd during the former as they sang back the song’s catchy refrain: “Ooh, whoa oh, whoa, oh, oh.”.

Caleb then got the whole the whole crowd to wave their arms to the classic fan favourite.

As KOL ended the show with a rampant ‘Sex On Fire’, Caleb left the audience to sing the chorus unassisted at times.

After the performance, drummer Nathan Followill took to X, to write: “Thank you London for an amazing night. My smile will last longer than my sweat. That was a proper 25 song rock show.

The show comes after the band wrapped up a huge 2026 UK tour earlier this summer, where they were joined by The Snuts, The Lathums and The Royston Club. They also headlined Mad Cool 2026 in Madrid, kicked off the inaugural State Fayre festival with a hits-packed headline set, and played an intimate Nashville show where they performed ‘My Whole World’ live for the first time.

Quanto a 2027, eles têm dois shows enormes no The O2 de Londres no próximo verão – celebrando o 20º aniversário do local – e também estão programados para abrir o Isle Of Wight 2027 ao lado de Fatboy Slim e Robbie Williams.
