With the beachy album almost finished just in time for summer, the KOL are back out on tour and recently finished headlining at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.

The Kings of Leon snagged three awards for “Use Somebody” at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.
“Use Somebody” came out on top for ‘Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group;’ ‘Best Rock Song;’ and ‘Record Of The Year.’ If you somehow happened to miss their acceptance of the award, check out their official Web site where you can watch an embedded video.
The only nomination category they didn’t win was for ‘Song of the Year,’ which went to “Single Ladies” by Beyonce.
