Zach Bryan Joins Kings of Leon to Perform Collaboration During Nashville Show

Kings of Leon played a surprise show Thursday night (Sept. 10) for approximately 500 fans at the Basement East in Nashville. The band announced the concert one day prior, with tickets available solely at the Basement East box office.

During the encore, the group welcomed Zach Bryan for a surprise performance of their collaboration “Bowery.”

The artists released “Bowery” in 2025. Kings of Leon previously joined Bryan on select stadium shows in 2025 and on his 2026 With Heaven on Tour trek, and they also recorded the 2025 track “We’re Onto Something” with him.

The one-night-only concert celebrated the release of the band’s new single, “My Whole World,” and the announcement of their 10th studio album, O My Beloved, which arrives Nov. 6 via Love Tap Records/Virgin Music.

The 24-song, roughly two-hour set featured the live debut of “My Whole World” alongside catalog hits including “Use Somebody,” “Sex on Fire,” “Pyro” and “Supersoaker.” The Basement East performance marked a full-circle moment for band members Caleb Followill, Jared Followill, Nathan Followill and Matthew Followill, who began their music careers playing Nashville clubs as teenagers.

Kings of Leon released their most recent album, Can We Please Have Fun, in 2024, while Bryan released his latest album, With Heaven on Top, earlier this year.
