In June 2011, Kings of Leon performed live at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands, a notable moment during their "Come Around Sundown" tour, which corresponded with the release of their fifth studio album. This album, released in October 2010, marked a significant point in their career, as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and included hit singles like "Radioactive" and "Pyro." By the time of the Pinkpop performance, the band was enjoying mainstream success, having transitioned from their Southern rock roots to a more polished alternative rock sound. Notably, their singles "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire," both from the previous album "Only by the Night," had solidified their status as international rock icons. The energy from the crowd during this performance highlights the band's strong connection with their audience and their rise to prominence within the rock genre.
