What was this magic ingredient that I was missing that has made them so phenomenally successful? I arrive, open mind at the ready, prepared to be proven completely wrong.

I was intrigued to see how the band would handle headlining Hyde Park British Summer Time festival, a 65,000-strong crowd full Kings Of Leon and ‘Sex On Fire’ enthusiasts alike. With each new album, the brothers spiral slowly into a downward trajectory of quality, maintained only by their rumbling history. Maybe I’m spending time with the wrong people, but it’s always seemed that with a few exceptions, the ‘Sex On Fire’ band have become victims of their own vanilla. You don’t ever hear Kings Of Leon listed as anyone’s favourite band, or hear people talking about that amazing new Kings Of Leon album, or the life-changing experience when Kings Of Leon headlined the Pyramid Stage in 2008. A credible band you can name to convey to your friends that you have average to good music taste, without appearing overly concerned with the details, just to make sure they know that you were only listening to Meghan Trainor ironically. For a long time, it felt like the phrase ‘Kings Of Leon’ was a code, the kind of name that gets thrown around early on in an exchange about what music you like.
The appeal of Kings Of Leon, and specifically their enduring popularity, has always eluded me.
