Today, we’re heading back in the Blanc Creative Professional Music Photography Portfolio to talk about Kings of Leon tearing it up at The Radio One Big Weekend Concert in Hull back in 2017.

Its doesn’t seem five minutes ago and sometimes I have to take a step back and wonder where the past 7 years have gone, since capturing the Kings of Leon Photography

If you’re into music, aged over 30, you will know them.

The Kings of Leon Photography. Tennessee Brothers, who took the world overnight.

Kings of Leon emerged onto the music scene in the early 2000s, hailing from Nashville, Tennessee. Comprising brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill, alongside their cousin Matthew Followill.

The band quickly gained attention for their distinctive blend of southern rock, indie, and alternative sounds.

Their debut album, “Youth and Young Manhood” (2003), introduced audiences to their raw, gritty style, featuring tracks like “Molly’s Chambers” and “California Waiting” that showcased their infectious energy and unique sound.

Following their debut success, Kings of Leon continued to evolve their sound with subsequent albums like “Aha Shake Heartbreak” (2004) and “Because of the Times” (2007).

These albums saw the band exploring different musical territories while staying true to their roots, with tracks like “The Bucket” and “On Call” showcasing their knack for crafting catchy hooks and memorable melodies.

With each release, Kings of Leon solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the industry, earning critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base worldwide.

The Kings of Leon Photography 2017:

They’re like the cool cousins of rock, mixing up southern vibes with indie and alternative sounds. And man, did they bring the heat to the stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
Picture this: the lights go down, the crowd goes wild, and boom – Kings of Leon explode onto the stage. They kicked things off with one of their classic tunes, and from that moment on, it was non-stop awesomeness.

Working as a freelancer for the event, Norwich Music Photographer, Lee Blanchflower captured the concert unfold from front ofd stage.

The Kings of Leon blasted through their hits, old and new, and let me tell you, every song hit different. Whether it was the anthemic “Use Somebody” or the fiery “Sex on Fire,” the energy was off the charts. People were dancing, singing, and just soaking up every second of it.

But it wasn’t just about the music. These guys have serious chemistry.

And let’s not forget about the rockstar swagger. Caleb’s voice was like gravel and honey, Nathan was smashing those drums like there was no tomorrow, Jared was holding it down on bass, and Matthew’s guitar solos were out of this world.

When it was all said and done, and they wrapped up with an encore, the crowd went nuts. Nobody wanted it to end, but even as the lights came up and the band left the stage, you could still feel their energy buzzing in the air.

So if you ever get the chance to see Kings of Leon live, do yourself a favour and jump on it. Trust me, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

You know, one of the most powerful moments of the night came when Kings of Leon took a pause to acknowledge something bigger than the music. Like so many other acts at The Big Weekend, they paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester tragedy. Frontman Caleb Followill dedicated their hit song “Use Somebody” to the city, saying, “Manchester, we stand with you.” It was a touching moment that reminded us all of the unity and solidarity in the face of adversity.

But as the night drew to a close, there was only one song that could wrap things up properly – “Sex on Fire.” And let me tell you, when those familiar chords filled the air, the energy was through the roof.

The band belted out the lyrics, and the crowd sang along like their lives depended on it. It was electric.

Looking back, it’s clear that this weekend will go down in Hull’s history as one of the best. The music, the atmosphere, the unforgettable moments – it all came together to create something truly special.

So go ahead, share this story and our Kings of Leon Photography with your friends. Let’s spread the love.
