Kings of Leon have a London date for the week their new album comes out. They will play British Airways ARC on November 10 to celebrate O My Beloved, which arrives on November 6. The announcement came from the band on October 27, leaving fans a short wait before tickets go on sale.

It is the album preorder offer that needs a careful look. Fans are asked to order any format through the band’s linked offer by 10 a.m. GMT on Wednesday, October 28. Their chance to buy concert tickets begins two hours later, at noon GMT. An order placed at the moment that presale opens would miss the stated qualification deadline.

Wednesday has two openings

American Express cardmembers have their own presale at 10 a.m. GMT on October 28. So the first sale on Wednesday is not the album sale. A fan with preorder access needs the noon opening; a cardmember using the American Express route needs the earlier one. General sale follows on Friday, October 30, at 10 a.m. GMT.

From Turkey, set those reminders for 1 p.m. on Wednesday for the preorder cutoff and American Express opening, then 3 p.m. for the album presale. Friday’s general sale begins at 1 p.m. Turkish time. The UK has moved back to GMT, making the difference three hours this week.

There is still a ticket to buy after ordering the record. The announcement offers presale access with the qualifying preorder, rather than entry to the concert bundled into the album. That is worth knowing if the London show is the reason for making the order.

The band’s website puts O My Beloved at the centre of things, with “My Whole World” and “Cold Blue Dawn” listed among the videos. By November 10, fans will have had four days to get to know the album. It is an unusually close pairing of release and show dates, even though it tells us nothing certain about the setlist. A launch celebration does not mean every new track will be played.

For listeners who have already been looking towards next summer, London brings a nearer option. Kings of Leon are also booked for the Sunday headline slot at Isle of Wight in June 2027. Our guide to the festival’s headline nights sets out that weekend’s programme and ticket arrangements.

November is a different proposition: one venue, a newly released record and a date less than a fortnight after the general sale. The first decision comes on Wednesday, when fans need the right offer and the right clock time.
