Rock band Kings of Leon has made plans for a 2024 world tour, which includes a stop at Toyota Center in Houston on Friday, August 16.

The tour is in support of the band's new album, Can We Please Have Fun, their ninth overall and first with their new label, Capitol Records. The album will be released on May 10.

Texas gets first dibs on the tour, which kicks off in Austin on August 14, moves to Houston on August 16, and then Fort Worth on August 17. The U.S./Canada leg of the tour will go to 26 cities in almost two months, finishing in Hartford, Connecticut on October 5.

Kings of Leon, which got its start in Tennessee, has been releasing music for over 20 years, but they didn't get truly big until their fourth album, 2008's Only by the Night, which featured hits like "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire."

The new album promises fans a new side of the band, with songs that "harken back to their gritty origins while simultaneously finding new gears."

Tickets go on sale through the Kings of Leon presale starting on February 28; fans can sign up for access until Tuesday, February 27 at 11 pm. American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning on Tuesday, February 27 at 10 am through Thursday, February 29 at 11 pm.

The general on sale for North American tickets will begin on Friday, March 1 at 10 am at ticketmaster.com.

Comedy giant Dave Chappelle is coming to Houston as part of his new fall tour. The award-winning actor and comedian will perform at Toyota Center on Wednesday, October 28.

The seven-city Karmageddon tour begins in Nashville on October 20 and ends at Madison Square Garden on November 6 as part of the New York Comedy Festival. Chappelle will also visit Austin on October 26.

Known for his groundbreaking Chappelle’s Show on Comedy Central as well as numerous standup specials, Saturday Night Live host appearances, and more, Chappelle is known for outspoken style that embraces a range of controversial subjects.

"Dave is one of the defining comedians of his generation and, without question, one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time," said Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the New York Comedy Festival. "To have Dave close out his tour by opening our festival is spectacular."

Note that the show is touted as a “phone-free experience.” Attendees will need to secure all connected devices — including phones, smartwatches, and accessories — in Yondr pouches prior to the performance. Special phone use areas will be available, but anyone seen using a device during the concert will be removed.

A Citi presale runs from 10 am on Tuesday, September 15, until 10 pm on Wednesday, September 16. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale, which begins on Thursday, September 17 at 12 pm at Livenation.com
