Zach Bryan Joins Kings of Leon to Perform One of Their Collabs During Band’s Nashville Show

The group celebrated its upcoming album during a show at a classic Music City club.

Kings of Leon serendipitously performed a concert on Thursday night (Sept. 10) at Nashville's historic Basement East venue, drawing around 500 enthusiastic fans. The band announced the impromptu show just a day in advance, requiring attendees to purchase tickets at the venue's box office. To surprise the audience, the musicians brought along Zach Bryan, a hitmaker, for a special encore performance.

Bryan took the stage alongside Kings of Leon to deliver a rendition of their collaborative track "Bowery," which was released in 2025. The band has previously performed with Bryan during his stadium shows in 2025 and on his 2026 With Heaven on Tour tour. Additionally, Kings of Leon collaborated with Bryan on the 2025 song "We're Onto Something."

To celebrate the release of their new single "My Whole World" and the announcement of their upcoming 10th studio album, O My Beloved, set to drop on Nov. 6 via Love Tap Records/Virgin Music, the group dedicated their two-hour performance to a mix of fresh releases, hits from their discography, including "Use Somebody," "Sex on Fire," "Pyro" and "Supersoaker."

For Kings of Leon's Caleb, Jared, Nathan, and Matthew Followill, this one-night-only show represented a full-circle moment, as the band members first pursued their musical careers by playing gigs in Music City as teenagers. The group's latest album, Can We Please Have Fun, was released in 2024, while Bryan's most recent album, With Heaven on Top, dropped earlier in the year.
