The ‘Kings of Lyon’ are a new and vibrant tribute to the ‘Kings of Leon’.
 
The Kings of Lyon played their debut gig in February at a venue called, Rehab in Harrogate. The gig was a huge success, filling the venue to its capacity, and the enraptured crowd recalled the band for several encores. The band then played to a sell out crowd at a new 650 capacity music venue in Hull, the Tower nightclub, earlier in March. The band took four more subsequent bookings from this night alone for private parties and nightclubs in Newcastle and Lincolnshire, receiving subsequent bookings for Universities in Canterbury, East Anglia and nightclubs in Essex and Norfolk. The band are now attached to several management companies and talent agencies including; Scott Jordan, Psycho, Henderson Management, Viscount Entertainment, Tribute Entertainment, Dansatak and Fake Bands (the Kings of Lyon are now the official Fake Festivals' Kings of Leon tribute for 2010), and are taking bookings and selling out venues to capacity throughout Europe and the UK.
 
The four musicians who make up the kings of Lyon are no stranger to success in the music industry, having played together for over seven years in various successful projects. Over the last three years the band has played throughout the UK in a covers band called, 'The Beards', performing for various events and functions; weddings, universities, private parties, ticket only public venues, open air festivals and corporate functions. Yet as 2008 closed the band had their most successful year so far.
 
The members of the band also received their first television exposure as they were crowned 'Global Icon winners 2008'. Global Icon was an online competition sponsored by ‘Sky Television' which featured thousands of bands from Europe and gave exposure to the band’s original writing project, 'The Riffs'.  The competition, which was filmed and recorded in Manchester, has lead to a university tour and the chance to work with the industry’s top producers; all adding to the band’s wealth of experience.
 
The Kings of Lyon invented themselves at the beginning of this year and were extremely confident that this would immediately gain momentum and after the reaction from their first show it was definitely understandable. What makes the 'Kings of Lyon' so special is that they have a wealth of experience though still young; they also have a great sound, which they have worked on for years, and are fortunate to have the look as well.

The band comes equipped with a professional sound engineer, a range of P.A systems and lighting to suit any venue. They have their own transport, posters and publicity, a website and studio recordings along with an exciting 90 minute live set encompassing all the hits and fans’ favourites from the Kings of Leon’s last four albums.
