I guess they both, um, do things in a really grandiose fashion?

A whole lot of very lucky British Kings of Leon fans attending the Tennessee band's December tour stops will get themselves an earful of at least one fine band for the price of two, as Anthony Gonzalez's sublime M83 will open each and every date on KoL's December UK tour.

M83 are currently in Europe, with sights set on a North American trek with School of Seven Bells next month. Kings of Leon, meanwhile, are days away from kicking off their own North American jaunt in support of the crappy Only By the Night.
