Noel and Brandon watch Shockwaves NME Awards Show

Kings Of Leon returned to action in front of an A-list indie crowd tonight (February 26).

Taking to the stage, the band - dressed in skin tight denim and all sporting clean shaven faces - said little except to periodically thank the crowd as their powered through their set.

Kings Of Leon took the opportunity to preview songs from their forthcoming album ’Because Of The Times’, including tracks ’My Party’ and ‘Mcfearless’ along with the likes of ’Milk’ and ’Spiral Staircase’ from their first two records.

The band played:

‘Milk’
‘Mcfearless’
