Wrexham: Kings of Leon to release live at Racecourse album

'Can We Please Have Fun' (Live In Wrexham Edition) is set to be released on May, 10 and includes seven live recordings from the band’s sold out gigs at Wrexham AFC’s Racecourse Ground on May 27 and 28 May last year, as well as the new album in full.

It will be released on 2CD and Dual Colour cassette formats and is available here.

The cover photo for the album is shot by Wrexham AFC’s club photographer, Rob Stead who said "I certainly didn't have this on my 2024 bingo card!"

As its title suggests, the album is a document of one of this era’s great rock & roll bands cutting loose, trying new things, and yes, having some fun.

Recorded at Dark Horse studio and produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Florence + the Machine), the album sees the band hark back to their gritty origins, while simultaneously finding new gears.

It’s the sound of a band unified in vision and purpose, freed from any expectations and the album the band says they’ve always wanted to make.
